A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (57% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ouédraogo.

Judged on this season alone, Ouédraogo graded 47 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 4 goals, 3 assists and 1.294 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 47). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 87, top 3% of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 20 Ouédraogo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 44.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ouédraogo missed 15 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 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

1.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 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 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.65 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.29 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 87.1, Ouédraogo carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 3%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
