Output in context · Lommel United finished 5th of 17 · an upper-table side
2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 17) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.39 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.6, Grand carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Challenger Pro League (top 3%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
