Scout report
C. Mbemba is a 32-year-old central defender at Lille, rated 26.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mbemba.
On the season, Mbemba graded 19 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 3.022 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 32 Mbemba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Lille finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 26.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
