Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 39 Payet is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Payet missed 6 games through injury (knee, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 4 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.

Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.92 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.92 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 6.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.92 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
