Clean sheets

2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (21st of 21) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.7, Traoré carries the 50th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 73, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Ismaily SC finished 21st of 21) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
