AI Analysis
Generated May 6, 2026

A Ligue 1 center back sitting at 51.76 on the FQ scale — squarely in the typical performer band — across 29 matches and 2,492 minutes this season. The most notable data point is what is absent: all role-critical sub-scores (defense, progression, possession control, physical duel) are null, meaning the composite score is the primary signal. At this level, the player meets some positional baselines but falls short of what is expected from a reliable starter in a competitive top-flight environment.

Why this score

The FQ score of 51.76 is driven by a mid-range composite with no sub-score granularity to identify a standout dimension. The per-90 data available — 1.19 tackles, 0.47 key passes, and a 7.04 average rating — are functional but not distinguishing figures for a center back at this level.

Form Trajectory

Form score of 52.04 sits just 0.28 points above the FQ score of 51.76 — well within the ±5 stable band. There is no meaningful upward or downward trend; this player is performing at a consistent, flat level across the current sample.

Similar Profiles
Players with comparable scoring profiles in the same role
Cristian Gabriel Romero

Romero's FQ score of 53 places him in the same typical-performer band; both players share a similar composite ceiling, though Romero's score comes with a higher-profile league context that may reflect a more demanding defensive environment.

Kevin Diks

Diks scores 50.48, nearly identical to this player's 51.76, reflecting comparable overall output; the key difference is positional versatility — Diks operates across the backline rather than as a specialist center back.

Adam Dźwigała

Dźwigała's 50.11 FQ score is the closest match in the comparable set, suggesting a similar tier of center back contribution; both sit just above the fringe threshold with limited elite-dimension separation.

Defensive output visibility

All defensive sub-scores (tackles, interceptions, duels, aerial) are null despite 91% data completeness. The only available defensive signal is 1.19 tackles per 90, which is a thin basis for evaluating a center back's core function and limits confidence in any positive defensive read.

Progression and creation contribution

Key passes sit at 0.47 per 90 and assists at 0.07 — modest output for a modern center back expected to contribute to build-up. With progression sub-score also null, there is no data to suggest this player is an active ball-carrier or distributor from deep.
