Caps & goals this season.
N. Tagliafico is a 33-year-old full-back at Lyon, rated 27.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 304th of 324 in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (56.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tagliafico.
Judged on this season alone, Tagliafico graded 41 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 6 clean sheets and 3.682 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 39 → 41). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 56th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 33 Tagliafico is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 15.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Tagliafico missed 4 games through injury and 4 suspensions (ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 27.7, Tagliafico carries the 56th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 61. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~45), then tapers with age. At 33, Tagliafico sits on 15.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tagliafico's projected Rating — 27.7 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.
