On the season, Zagadou graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 1.475 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 27 Zagadou is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Zagadou missed 14 games through injury (muscle, injured doubtful, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 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.

Clean sheets

1.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.74 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 27 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.48 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.
