Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

H. Picard is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Estac Troyes, rated 41.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 38th of 52 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (36.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Picard.

Judged on this season alone, Picard graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 3rd of 3 of the 3 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 18 appearances (0.44 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 2nd of 3 of the 3 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 23 Picard is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 24.4 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.9, Picard carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 3 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
