Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 52). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 76, top 28% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 24 Belkhdim is in his prime years, and a market index of 50.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Belkhdim missed 6 games through injury (arm, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Belkhdim is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Angers finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 85.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 76.2, Belkhdim carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 28%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Angers finished 13th 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 solid defensive volume (4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
