Clean sheets

3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, 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 10.6, Pallois carries the 65th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 66. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
