About Cedric Avinel
Cedric Avinel is a seasoned centre-back whose experience speaks volumes, though his recent performance places him in the bottom 45% among positional peers. At 40, he brings durability, having missed only five games in the last three seasons, but lacks standout strengths, struggling particularly in duels and clearances. While his veteran presence can be valuable, his current metrics suggest he may be operating at a level below the demands of competitive football.
Availability: 5 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
