Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meité.

Judged on this season alone, Meité graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 5 clean sheets and 2.451 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 25). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 78, top 20% of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 24 Meité is in his prime years, and a market index of 45.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Meité missed 3 games through injury (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
