Scout report
I. El Mizouni is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Leyton Orient, rated 38.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 55th of 148 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (41.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.82 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mizouni.
Judged on this season alone, Mizouni graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 5 goals, 1 assist and 5.815 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 30). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 5th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 26 Mizouni is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
5.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 41.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.6, Mizouni carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 8, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.82 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.
