Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 29.5% 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 42.8, Verdonk carries the 50th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 63 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~25), then tapers with age. At 29, Verdonk sits on 13.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Verdonk's projected Rating — 42.8 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.
