Scout report
J. Martin is a 36-year-old defensive midfielder at Boulogne, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 1 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 14, top 82% of Ligue 2 defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.2, ranking 306th of 313 in the Ligue 2. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (33.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Martin.
Judged on this season alone, Martin graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.424 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 27th of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2. At 36 Martin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Boulogne finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, 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 13.2, Martin carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 28, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Boulogne finished 15th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
