Lennart Mertens is a target man at Waasland-Beveren, rated 69 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 72, ST. By the standards of the role, that's decent. At 33 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
What role should Lennart Mertens have?
Their place is up front as ST. Not one for running the channels: use them as a penalty-box reference to pin centre-backs, hold up play and finish inside. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: off-the-ball movement (78) and aerial ability (78). Their off-the-ball movement is good and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: dribbling (52) and acceleration (53). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 1,4 M€ with 8 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 69 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is Lennart Mertens's best position?
Their best position is ST.
How high can Lennart Mertens's rating go?

Do they finish well?
Their finishing is 76 — good for their position.
