Scout report
J. Masson is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Sochaux, rated 40 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 116th of 128 on scout potential in the Ligue 2. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (46.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Masson.
Judged on this season alone, Masson graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 16 of the 16 central midfielders in the Ligue 2, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.546 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 2). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 16th of 16 of the 16 central midfielders in the Ligue 2. At 28 Masson is in his prime years, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

2.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.2% 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 40, Masson carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 16 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
