Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 23 → 45). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 87, top 6% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 21 Kouassi is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 127.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kouassi missed 3 games through injury (international duty, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 31 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Kouassi is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 87.3, Kouassi carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 6%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~141), then tapers with age. At 21, Kouassi sits on 127.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Kouassi's projected Rating — 87.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
