M. Delorge-Knieper is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Gent, rated 52.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 132nd of 292 in the Jupiler Pro League and 1063rd of 2861 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (37.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Delorge-Knieper.
Judged on this season alone, Delorge-Knieper graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 0 goals, 3 assists and 3.124 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 18). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 16th of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 21 Delorge-Knieper is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 41.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 52.4, Delorge-Knieper carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 24, 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 (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~46), then tapers with age. At 21, Delorge-Knieper sits on 41.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Delorge-Knieper's projected Rating — 52.4 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.
