Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 55). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, 21st of 35 of the 35 centre-forwards in the Ligue 1. At 28 Édouard is in his prime years, and a market index of 32.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Édouard missed 3 games through injury (calf, knock) 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.
A career still climbing — Édouard is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Lens finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side

Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.74 goal contributions per 90 (0.59 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.5/100).

In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.74 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
