Scout report
M. Sels is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Nottingham Forest, rated 30 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 353rd of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (82.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sels.
Judged on this season alone, Sels graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 20th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Premier League. At 34 Sels is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
7 clean sheets in 31 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (16th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Age curve. At 34, 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 30, Sels carries the 20th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 26, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — 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 (0.6× and falling).
