  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.5, Âdfaoui carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 46 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
