Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paskotši.

Judged on this season alone, Paskotši graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 48 of the 48 centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League, on 5 clean sheets and 3.326 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.2, Paskotši carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gent finished 5th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
