Scout report

Key starterCentral defender

F. Medina is a 27-year-old central defender at Marseille, rated 66.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 179th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (84% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Medina.

Judged on this season alone, Medina graded 39 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 4 clean sheets and 3.507 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 53 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 28th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 27 Medina is in his prime years, and a market index of 38.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Medina missed 14 games through injury and 1 suspension (ankle, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 84% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.4, Medina carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 54. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
