Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Attacking midfielder

K. Fayad is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder at Montpellier, rated 58.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 91st of 313 on scout potential in the Ligue 2 and 751st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.25 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fayad.

Judged on this season alone, Fayad graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 45 of the 45 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 2, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 20 appearances (0.251 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 20th of 45 of the 45 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 2. At 22 Fayad is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Fayad missed 4 games through injury (leg) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.

Goals / app

1 goal in 20 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.4, Fayad carries the 20th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 45 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
