Clean sheets

3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 12, Vancaeyezeele carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the USL Championship of 17 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
