Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zakaria.
Judged on this season alone, Zakaria graded 52 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 4.117 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 37 → 52). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 36th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 29 Zakaria is in his prime years, and a market index of 49.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Zakaria missed 7 games through injury and 3 suspensions (groin) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 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.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 55.9, Zakaria carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~91), then tapers with age. At 29, Zakaria sits on 49.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Zakaria's projected Rating — 55.9 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.
