9 clean sheets in 29 appearances (31% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.6, Epolo carries the 1st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League (top 4%). A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. 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.
