Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 55). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 46th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 31 Saïd is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 18.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Saïd missed 3 games through injury (hamstring, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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.
A career still climbing — Saïd is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
