Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Saivet.
On the season, Saivet graded 23 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 0 assists and 3.642 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 23). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 35 Saivet is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Clermont Foot finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 16 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
