Clean sheets

3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

Rated 29.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 28, Vancooten sits on 3.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vancooten's projected Rating — 29.1 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.
