On the season, Belghali graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.375 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44. At 24 Belghali is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Belghali missed 8 games through injury (ankle, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 40 this season. The 3 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · KV Mechelen finished 6th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (6th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13.3% 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 43.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
