Clean sheets

1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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 7 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.54 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.91 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.4, Diakité carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League (top 9%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lausanne finished 9th of 12) — 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 light defensive volume (1.91 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.
