Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Younoussa.

Judged on this season alone, Younoussa graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Ligue 2, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.895 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, top 18% of the 50 central midfielders in the Ligue 2. At 24 Younoussa is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Younoussa missed 12 games through injury (wound) out of roughly 34 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

2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.3, Younoussa carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 2 (top 18%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
