Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

P. Katseris is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Lorient, rated 73.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 111th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (49% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Katseris.

Judged on this season alone, Katseris graded 34 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.884 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 34). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, 21st of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 25 Katseris is in his prime years, and a market index of 43 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Katseris missed 18 games through injury (thigh, thigh problems, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 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

2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 73.8, Katseris carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
