M. Colin is a 34-year-old full-back at Metz, rated 21.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 324th of 337 in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (57.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Colin.
Judged on this season alone, Colin graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 4 clean sheets and 4.024 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 61st of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 34 Colin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 21.1, Colin carries the 61st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 63, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Metz finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 34, Colin sits on 6.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Colin's projected Rating — 21.1 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.
