Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Léon is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Auxerre, rated 32 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 301st of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (91.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Léon.

Judged on this season alone, Léon graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the Ligue 1, on 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 19th of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the Ligue 1. At 33 Léon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.9 reflects that trajectory.

7 clean sheets in 29 appearances (24% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (15th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 32, Léon carries the 19th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Ligue 1 of 24, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Auxerre finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
