L. Balerdi is a 27-year-old central defender at Marseille, rated 66 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 181st of 337 in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (82.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Balerdi.
Judged on this season alone, Balerdi graded 44 — a strong campaign that ranks top 21% of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 6 clean sheets and 3.919 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 31 → 44). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 29th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 27 Balerdi is in his prime years, and a market index of 42.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Balerdi missed 7 games through injury (muscle, inactive, illness) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 66, Balerdi carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 54. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~43), then tapers with age. At 27, Balerdi sits on 42.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Balerdi's projected Rating — 66 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.
