Output in context · Bastia finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.8, Ariss carries the 12th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 2 (top 23%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Bastia finished 17th 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 (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
