How do you get the best out of J. van Hecke?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: jumping (90), slide tackling (83) and marking (80). Their jumping is phenomenal and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 29,5 M€ with 101 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 80 with a ceiling of 83 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
