Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

M. Simon is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Paris FC, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 276th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (72.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.27 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Simon.

Judged on this season alone, Simon graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 29 appearances (0.267 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 59 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 47th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 31 Simon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Simon missed 3 games through injury (international duty, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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

3 goals in 29 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.27 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.07 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 41.5, Simon carries the 47th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 51. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.27 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
