Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

F. Herbers is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at CF Montreal, rated 14.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 466th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Herbers.

Judged on this season alone, Herbers graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 16 appearances (0.123 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 46th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Herbers is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Herbers missed 7 games through injury (thigh, injury, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

1 goal in 16 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.12 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • 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 14.8, Herbers carries the 46th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.12 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
