A. Maitland-Niles is a 28-year-old full-back at Lyon, rated 65.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 179th of 324 in the Ligue 1. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (92% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maitland-Niles.
Judged on this season alone, Maitland-Niles graded 67 — a standout campaign that ranks top 5% of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 12 clean sheets and 3.404 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 43 → 67). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 33rd of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 28 Maitland-Niles is in his prime years, and a market index of 63.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Maitland-Niles missed 3 games through injury and 1 suspension (groin) out of roughly 34 this season. The 30 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 — Maitland-Niles is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 65.5, Maitland-Niles carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 61. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~106), then tapers with age. At 28, Maitland-Niles sits on 63.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Maitland-Niles's projected Rating — 65.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
