J. Boyer is a 28-year-old central defender at Boulogne, rated 45.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 77th of 128 on scout potential in the Ligue 2. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (86.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boyer.

Judged on this season alone, Boyer graded 40 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 10% of the 40 centre-backs in the Ligue 2, on 8 clean sheets and 3.65 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 40 → 40). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 25th of 40 of the 40 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 28 Boyer is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.7, Boyer carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Boulogne finished 15th of 18) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
