Output in context · Saint Etienne finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 53.6, Jaber carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 12. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
