Yohan Tavares is a 38-year-old central defender at Laval, rated 8.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 320th of 321 in the Ligue 2. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tavares.
Judged on this season alone, Tavares graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Ligue 2, on 3 clean sheets and 2.308 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 64th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 38 Tavares is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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.
With a Rating of 8.7, Tavares carries the 64th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Laval finished 16th 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 (2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 38, Tavares sits on 2.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tavares's projected Rating — 8.7 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.
