Scout report
J. Sambia is a 30-year-old full-back at Clermont Foot, rated 26.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.19 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sambia.
On the season, Sambia graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 2.188 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 30 Sambia is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Clermont Foot finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 26.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
