Clean sheets

4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.9, Mercera carries the 29th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 48 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
