Y. Bouchama is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Preußen Münster, rated 35.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 262nd of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (55.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bouchama.

Judged on this season alone, Bouchama graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.256 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 28). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.1% 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 35.1, Bouchama carries the 30th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Preußen Münster finished 18th of 18) — 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 (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
