M. Sels is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Nottingham Forest, rated 30 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 393rd of 418 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (82.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sels.
Judged on this season alone, Sels graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 23rd of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Premier League. At 34 Sels is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 18 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
7 clean sheets in 31 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (16th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
With a Rating of 30, Sels carries the 23rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 29, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — 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).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~60), then tapers with age. At 34, Sels sits on 18, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sels's projected Rating — 30 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
