Clean sheets

4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 27 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.9, Buadés carries the 38th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 2 of 53. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
