Bouaddi's current-season form is up 60% on last season (Season 20→32), while his Rating climbed 76→87. That makes this his strongest season for form to date.
A. Bouaddi is a 18-year-old defensive midfielder at Lille, rated 86.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 12th of 337 in the Ligue 1 and 2nd of 206 U-19 players tracked. A teenage prospect, he has been an ever-present this season (81.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.58 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bouaddi.
Judged on this season alone, Bouaddi graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.58 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 32). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 87, top 8% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 18 Bouaddi is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 37.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Bouaddi is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 30 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 86.5, Bouaddi carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 8%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

At 18, Bouaddi sits on 37.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Bouaddi's projected Rating — 86.5 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.
