On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, top 10% of the 54 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League. At 22 Smet is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.9 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Kortrijk finished 2nd of 17 · a title-challenging side
3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 17) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.6, Smet carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League (top 10%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
