Clean sheets

4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.5/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 77.2, Tchouaméni carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the La Liga (top 16%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
