Key strength: Vision and passing
Creative playmaker
Angers SCO occupy 13th place in Ligue 1, their recent form of LDLLW painting a picture of a side desperately seeking consistency. Yet amid the turbulence of a grueling campaign, one constant has emerged: 23-year-old Louis Mouton. The French central midfielder has been nothing short of ever-present, logging 1,815 minutes across 26 appearances—a testament to both his fitness and indispensability. With 2 goals and 1 assist, Mouton's output won't dominate headlines, but that belies his true value. Operating as a creative playmaker, his 55-rated passing—his standout attribute—serves as the lifeline feeding Angers' attack, threading visionary balls to attacking threats. Remarkably, he has navigated the entire season without a single card, demonstrating elite positional intelligence and discipline rare for his age. Valued at €2.5 million, Mouton embodies the reliability and technical craft Angers are building around. As the club fights to stabilize their mid-table position, their young midfielder's tireless availability and composure remain their most precious constants in an unpredictable season.
