7 goals in 29 appearances (0.24 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 2 assists for 9 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, 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 33.5, Benet carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 7. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
