Clean sheets

3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 73.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.4, Hoogen carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League (top 12%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Club Brugge II finished 16th 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 (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
