A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (73.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Emerson.

Judged on this season alone, Emerson graded 37 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 6 clean sheets and 3.814 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 52nd of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 32 Emerson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.5, Emerson carries the 52nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 63. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
