Scout report
D. Samassékou is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Houston Dynamo, rated 15.5 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (0% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Samassékou.
On the season, Samassékou graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 30 Samassékou is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 15.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
