Squad depthDefensive midfielder

J. Patrick is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Reims, rated 54.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 143rd of 313 on scout potential in the Ligue 2 and 923rd of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Patrick.

Judged on this season alone, Patrick graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.224 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 6). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 14th of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2. At 22 Patrick is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 19.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.6, Patrick carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 28 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
