Clean sheets

5.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 5.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 37.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 26, Francois sits on 1.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Francois's projected Rating — 37.5 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.
