Maamma is a 20-year-old central midfielder at Watford, rated 68.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 69th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship and 113th of 995 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (53.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maamma.

Judged on this season alone, Maamma graded 35 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 4 goals, 1 assist and 3.132 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 35). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, top 13% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 20 Maamma is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Maamma missed 10 games through injury (muscle, international duty, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 25 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.

Clean sheets

3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.7, Maamma carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 13%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
