Experienced headGoalkeeper

M. Jeannin is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Sochaux, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances, a Season grade of 36, top 90% of Ligue 2 goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 17.1, ranking 126th of 128 in the Ligue 2. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (52.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jeannin.

Judged on this season alone, Jeannin graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the Ligue 2, on 4 clean sheets across 9 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 20th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the Ligue 2. At 35 Jeannin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 17.1, Jeannin carries the 20th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Ligue 2 of 21 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
