Scout report
J. Gradit is a 33-year-old central defender at Lens, rated 19.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 120th of 122 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gradit.
Judged on this season alone, Gradit graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 25 of the 25 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 3 clean sheets and 4.672 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 25th of 25 of the 25 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 33 Gradit is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Lens finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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
- Defensive volume. 4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.7, Gradit carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 25 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
