Saël Kumbedi Nseke
Full Back · Lyon · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
The record covers 5 seasons (2022/23–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 96 appearances with 8 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Lyon — Season rating 19, 0 goals and 1 assist in 17 games. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (19 → 16). The gap to his peak is 3 Season points.
Season-to-season output barely moves — his form has stayed within a tight band (±1 points) across 4 campaigns. Made the jump to a higher division in 2022/23 (Ligue 1) and kept playing — 25 games that season.
