Key strength: Pace and recovery
Overlapping full-back
In a season of stability at Angers SCO, Lilian Raolisoa has quietly emerged as one of their most reliable performers. At 25 years old, the French right-back has racked up 22 appearances and nearly 1,200 minutes of action, anchoring a defense that sees the club sitting comfortably in 9th position with their form showing a balanced pattern of results. Raolisoa's two goals and two assists from the full-back position demonstrate his effectiveness as an overlapping threat, his pace and recovery speed making him a nightmare for opposition wingers to get past. Playing alongside talents like Prosper Peter up front and Himad Abdelli in midfield, Raolisoa provides the defensive foundation that allows his more attacking teammates to flourish. With a €1.8 million market value reflecting his consistent displays and room for growth at just 25, Raolisoa embodies the modern full-back role—defensively solid, positionally intelligent, and increasingly confident joining the attack. As Angers look to push up the table, Raolisoa's continued development could be key to unlocking their potential.
