T. Lemar is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Girona, rated 38.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (37.2% of available minutes).

On the season, Lemar graded 24 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals, 1 assist and 2.404 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39. 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

Rated 38.9 overall — developing / rotation level. 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).
