On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.4, ranking 225th of 274 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (87.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lima.
Judged on this season alone, Lima graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.047 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 26). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 23rd of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 Lima is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
