Fali Candé
Center Back · Sassuolo · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs, including a move abroad — 130 appearances with 9 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Metz — Season rating 60, 1 goal and 0 assists in 38 games. 2022/23 was the leap — Season rating up 42 points at Metz. Form has slipped 17 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 52 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 18 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2023/24 (Ligue 1) and kept playing — 25 games that season.
