Scout report
M. Samassa is a 36-year-old goalkeeper at Laval, rated 23.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 280th of 313 on scout potential in the Ligue 2. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (97.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Samassa.
Judged on this season alone, Samassa graded 21 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 24 goalkeepers in the Ligue 2, on 9 clean sheets across 35 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 21). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 21st of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the Ligue 2. At 36 Samassa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Laval finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
9 clean sheets in 35 appearances (26% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 97.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 36, 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 23.9, Samassa carries the 21st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Ligue 2 of 24, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Laval finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
