A. Maamar is a 21-year-old full-back at Anderlecht, rated 54.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 95th of 311 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League and 909th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (38.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.71 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maamar.

Judged on this season alone, Maamar graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 52 of the 52 full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.712 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 17). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, top 31% of the 52 full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League. At 21 Maamar is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 15.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.8, Maamar carries the 16th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League (top 31%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Anderlecht finished 4th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
