Output in context · Lens finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 9 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

- Creativity. 0.3 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook
With a Rating of 42.7, Thomasson carries the 43rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
