0 goals in 13 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.23 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.54 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.54 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53, Houdayer carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Ligue 2 of 5 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.54 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
