Caps & goals this season.
M. Samatta is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Le Havre, rated 26.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 321st of 337 in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (61.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Samatta.
Judged on this season alone, Samatta graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 35 of the 35 centre-forwards in the Ligue 1, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 27 appearances (0.174 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 31st of 35 of the 35 centre-forwards in the Ligue 1. At 33 Samatta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Samatta missed 6 games through injury (thigh, injury, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2 goals in 27 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 26.1, Samatta carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Ligue 1 of 35, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Le Havre finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.17 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× 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 (~18), then tapers with age. At 33, Samatta sits on 6.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Samatta's projected Rating — 26.1 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.
