3 goals in 32 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 9 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.38 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 87.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.5/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.8, Thomasson carries the 22nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 25. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
