Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Full-back

F. Guilbert is a 31-year-old full-back at Nantes, rated 27.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 319th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 6.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Guilbert.

Judged on this season alone, Guilbert graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 61st of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 1 clean sheet and 6.197 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 60th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 31 Guilbert is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Guilbert missed 4 games through injury (lacking match fitness, knee) out of roughly 33 this season. The 8 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

6.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.1, Guilbert carries the 60th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 63 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
