Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Capelle.
On the season, Capelle graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.682 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 39 Capelle is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Angers finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
