Judged on this season alone, André graded 45 — a strong campaign that ranks top 25% of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 4.012 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 50 → 45). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 8th of 8 of the 8 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 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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 76.2% 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 27.5, André carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 8. 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).
