A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (84.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Courtois.

On the season, Courtois graded 46 for current form (age-blind), on 12 clean sheets across 32 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 46 → 46). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 34 Courtois is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 17.6 reflects that trajectory.

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

Rated 31.8 overall — below regular-starter level. 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).
