G. Hein is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Metz, rated 55.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 228th of 337 in the Ligue 1.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hein.
Judged on this season alone, Hein graded 58 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 8 goals and 7 assists in 29 appearances (0.573 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 52 → 58). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 41st of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 29 Hein is in his prime years, and a market index of 49.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hein missed 3 games through injury and 2 suspensions (ankle, illness) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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.
Hein is operating at his career peak — the 2023/24 level is the level.
8 goals in 29 appearances (0.28 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.52 per appearance).
With a Rating of 55.3, Hein carries the 41st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Metz finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~90), then tapers with age. At 29, Hein sits on 49.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hein's projected Rating — 55.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
