Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 57th of 66 of the 66 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 33 Salmier is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
