Clean sheets

4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 17) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.3, Wannemacker carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League (top 28%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (KRC Genk II finished 15th of 17) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
