Output in context · Antwerp finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.1, Hamdaoui carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 18 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
