Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 11). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54. At 25 Slimane is in his prime years, and a market index of 25 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Norwich finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) 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
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 54.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
