Clean sheets

2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 5 goals and 9 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.51 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.33 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.7, Boakye carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2 (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 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.
