Clean sheets

1.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.39 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.9, Fakili carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 2 (top 2%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
