Judged on this season alone, André graded 50 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 4.012 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 50 → 50). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 49th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 36 André is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: André missed 4 games through injury (hip, yellow cards, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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.
André is operating at his career peak — the 2023/24 level is the level.
Output in context · Lille finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 27 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
Watch points
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.8, André carries the 49th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
