Judged on this season alone, Pacho graded 61 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 11 clean sheets and 3.478 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 39 → 61). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 79, top 15% of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 24 Pacho is in his prime years, and a market index of 59.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Pacho missed 3 games through injury (thigh) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 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

3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 79.3, Pacho carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 (top 15%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
