In our analysis, we evaluate all the players who played in the Ligue 1 until March (2023/2024 Season). In other words, we evaluate and filter the best performers with a minimum of 1100 minutes played in the league. Assessing all the positions, we evaluate a lot of factors and indicators in their games that allow us to generate the ratings for their performances. As a matter of fact, in this type of analysis, the type of formation played doesnt influence or limit the ratings system.
GOALKEEPERS (GKs):
- Marco Bizot (Brest)
- Brice Samba (Lens)
- Marcin Bułka (Nice)
With good performances, Marco Bizot is the best performing Goalkeeper in the Ligue 1 until March. Playing for the biggest surprise in this year’s edition, Marco Bizot is one of the main reasons for Brest being the second best defense in the league.
CENTRE-BACKS (CBs):
- Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice)
- Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain)
- Dante (Nice)
In terms of the Centre-Backs, the Top 3 is led by one of the biggest talents in the world right now. As a matter of fact, Jean-Clair Todibo leads the average rating of Centre-Backs in the Ligue 1 until March in the 2023-2024 Season. Equally, we can see that he is being followed closely by two quality Brazilian players: Marquinhos and Dante.
FULL-BACKS (FBs) and WING-BACKS (WBs):
- Achraf Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain)
- Melvin Bard (Nice)
- Kenny Lala (Brest)
As shown above, in a Top 3 lead by an incredible margin, Hakimi archived the highest average ratings among the Full-Back and Wing-Back position until March. Being, without doubt, one of the most exciting players in the French League, Hakimi is having yet another great season.
MIDFIELDERS (Ms) and WINGERS (Ws):
- Pierre Lees-Melou (Brest)
- Téji Savanier (Montpellier)
- Maxence Caqueret (Lyon)
Despite not being among the best teams in the league, Lees-Melou and Téji Savanier are shining in this year’s edition of Ligue 1. Additionally, Maxence Caqueret’s recent performances have allowed him to enter the Top 3 list.
CENTRE-FOWARDS (CFs):
- Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain)
- Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco)
- Jonathan David (Lille)
In this situation where the Top 3 is led by Kylian Mbappé, we can see that the other strikers are far from the level shown by PSG’s Centre-Foward. Kylian Mbappé leads the average rating among strikers in Ligue 1 until March.
