An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (60.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pierre.

Judged on this season alone, Pierre graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 33 of the 33 full-backs in the Challenger Pro League, on 3 clean sheets and 1.761 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.76 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.3, Pierre carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Challenger Pro League (top 31%), 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 light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
