Output in context · Rodez finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
1.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.6 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.45 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.2, Saka carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 50 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
