F. Coquelin is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Nantes, rated 18.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 315th of 324 in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (42.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Coquelin.
Judged on this season alone, Coquelin graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.847 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 23). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 51st of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 35 Coquelin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Coquelin missed 16 games through injury (hamstring, injury, thigh) out of roughly 33 this season. The 16 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 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 18.9, Coquelin carries the 51st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~31), then tapers with age. At 35, Coquelin sits on 9.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Coquelin's projected Rating — 18.9 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.
