Read the appearance count in context: Safonov missed 4 games through injury (broken hand, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 15 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.
A career still climbing — Safonov is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Paris Saint Germain finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
8 clean sheets in 15 appearances (53% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.5, Safonov carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Ligue 1 (top 38%). A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
