Judged on this season alone, Lemina graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.262 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 32 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 34th of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 32 Lemina is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lemina missed 4 games through injury (unknown, injury, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Galatasaray finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
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 21.7, Lemina carries the 34th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig of 42. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
