Clean sheets

1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.2, Aalst carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 23%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
