Outlook

With a Rating of 43.9, Verhaeghe carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League of 14 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 18, Verhaeghe sits on 6.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Verhaeghe's projected Rating — 43.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
