M. Merghem is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Bastia, rated 33.2 overall by Field Insider's model.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Merghem.
On the season, Merghem graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.91 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33. At 28 Merghem is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Rated 33.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.91 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 (~35), then tapers with age. At 28, Merghem sits on 20.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Merghem's projected Rating — 33.2 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.
