On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, 34th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 28 Lopez is in his prime years, and a market index of 55.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lopez missed 3 games through injury (leg, yellow cards, achilles tendon) 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 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 57.4, Lopez carries the 34th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~93), then tapers with age. At 28, Lopez sits on 55.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lopez's projected Rating — 57.4 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.
