GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
B. Samba remains a veteran goalkeeper in his peak years, with his strongest recent work at Lens underpinning the case. His value is trimmed by the league step and the fact he is not a certain starter.

Analysis overview
Samba commands his line with authority, distributing from the back with intelligence and reading play before it develops. His positioning is economical and assured; he doesn't flap or overcomplicate, instead using his frame and decision-making to dominate the box. A keeper who makes the difficult look routine.
