Scout report
A. Bamba is a 36-year-old central defender at Angers, rated 11.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bamba.
On the season, Bamba graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 5.075 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11. At 36 Bamba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Angers finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
5.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 11.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
