GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.

Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

Playing style
M. De Cuyper plays like a modern full-back who wants the ball early and keeps the width honest. He pushes high to support attacks, overlaps with purpose, and offers a clean passing outlet before recovering into the defensive line. In the final third, his value is in timing and delivery rather than flair, and he looks comfortable doing the unglamorous work that keeps the shape intact.
