Y. Ndayishimiye is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Nice, rated 44.6 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ndayishimiye.

On the season, Ndayishimiye graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.75 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45. At 27 Ndayishimiye is in his prime years, and a market index of 26 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ndayishimiye missed 26 games through injury and 2 suspensions (knee, jumpers knee, injury) out of roughly 36 this season. The 2 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.

Clean sheets

3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 44.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
