Clean sheets

3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 86.5, Bouaddi carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 8%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
