12 clean sheets in 32 appearances (38% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 84.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.5/100).

Watch points

Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.8, Courtois carries the 16th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the La Liga of 18. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~59), then tapers with age. At 34, Courtois sits on 17.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Courtois's projected Rating — 31.8 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.
