Jan Paul van Hecke
25-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Van Hecke consistently posted strong defensive statistics during 2024/25. From his 34 appearances (33 starts), he contributed to seven clean sheets and managed to get on the scoresheet once, an slight improvement from last season. The physical Dutch defender's key strengths are ground duels and passing, and when healthy, it's hard to see him losing his role under Fabian Hurzeler. The goal for Brighton going forward is more cohesion defensively leading to more clean sheets, which would help Van Hecke's upside as a center-back.
Assists equalizer Sunday
van Hecke assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
ANALYSIS
van Hecke set up Georginio Rutter's strike in the 91st minute, a goal which tied the match at 1-1 and earned an important point for Brighton. It marked his first assist of the season to go along with his three goals. It came on one of his season-high two chances created, and he also set a season high with three crosses. He played the full 90 minutes in his 15th consecutive match to start the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs ready to make move?
Tottenham are expected to make a move to sign van Hecke, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs have an elite center-back pairing in Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. However, they could use some depth behind the duo. van Hecke would be an excellent alternative, but he won't come cheap. Brighton are likely to ask for around 45 million euros to part ways with the 25-year-old Netherlands international.
