Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.2, Grillot carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 7 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
