8 clean sheets in 15 appearances (53% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.1, Safonov carries the 6th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Ligue 1 (top 34%). A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
