Judged on this season alone, Hein graded 51 — 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 broadly in line with last season (Season 54 → 51). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 42nd of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 30 Hein is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 22.6 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.
Output in context · Metz finished 18th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
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).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.07 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.4, Hein carries the 42nd-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× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
