Across 18 appearances as a replacement, Slimani's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging close to four tackles per match and accumulating 71 in total across just over 639 minutes. His carrying is minimal and deliberate — rarely more than one or two touches per game — suggesting his primary contribution when introduced is to shore up the set-piece and breakdown rather than carry ball. His best defensive outings show he can reach eight tackles in a single match, underlining the reliability he brings in that phase when called upon.
