Output in context · Antwerp finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
9.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 9.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 44.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (9.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
