2 clean sheets in 9 appearances (22% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (14th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.7, Wolf carries the 10th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League of 12 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 29, Wolf sits on 4.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Wolf's projected Rating — 27.7 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.
