On long-term scout potential he's rated 26.4, ranking 115th of 123 in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (56.7% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Aguilar graded 36 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 21 central midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 3.992 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 27 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 20th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 33 Aguilar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Lens finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.4, Aguilar carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 21. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
