An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (49.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fofana.

Judged on this season alone, Fofana graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 46 of the 46 full-backs in the Super League, on 3 clean sheets and 2.092 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 10).

Clean sheets

2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.8, Fofana carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League (top 22%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lausanne finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
