Clean sheets

1.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.09 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.5, Limbombe carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie of 24, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Heracles finished 18th of 18) — 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 light defensive volume (1.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
