Judged on this season alone, Lima graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.047 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 23). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 22nd of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 Lima is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
