10 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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.
Rated 1.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (10 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 25, Mertens sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Mertens's projected Rating — 1.3 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.
