An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (37.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lemar.

Judged on this season alone, Lemar graded 24 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 22 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 2.404 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 19th of 22 of the 22 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 30 Lemar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.9, Lemar carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 22, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Girona finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
