On the season, Herbers graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 14 appearances (0.163 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 9). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

1 goal in 14 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.16 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.16 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
