Ligue 1

In our analysis, we evaluate the players who played in the Ligue 1 until the 20th of March (2023/2024 Season). In other words, we evaluate and filter the best performers within a team with a minimum of 1300 minutes played. 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.

In the table below we will present the results in regards to the players and teams. It is important to realise that there is likely to be a correlation between individual success and team success. Therefore, we can expect to find players from PSG and Nice with a higher average rating.

Data from FBref.

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):

1. Marco Bizot (Brest)
2. Brice Samba (Lens)
3. 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):

1. Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice)
2. Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain)
3. 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):

1. Achraf Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain)
2. Melvin Bard (Nice)
3. 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):

1. Pierre Lees-Melou (Brest)
2. Téji Savanier (Montpellier)
3. 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):

1. Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain)
2. Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco)
3. 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.
