Gimber

29 / €2m / 2025/26

Passing

How secure and useful he is in possession from the back line. This blends 40.43 passes attempted p90, 33.89 completed p90, pass completion, plus long-ball execution into one center-back passing pillar.

36.6

Progressiveness

How reliably he moves possession forward from deep. He records 8.59 progressive passes p90 and 1.08 progressive carries p90, so this rewards line-breaking distribution and calm territory gain from the back.

7.5

Aerial ability

How authoritative he is in the air. This pillar blends 2.76 aerials attempted p90, 1.62 aerials won p90, and aerial win percentage so both duel load and duel quality matter.

31.5

Defensive work

Ball-winning, interruption, and regain work inside the center-back lane. The context anchor is 1.39 defensive actions per 100 opponent passes, which keeps defending volume comparable across different team environments.

17.8

Availability

How available and trusted he is across the sample, blending workload with injury drag. He appears in 21 matches, starts 18 of them, and this score is then moderated by injury days, injury games missed, and injury episodes.

30.1

Overall

Final blended score across the five active center-back pillars for this role profile.

23.6

Archetype

Stopper

Leans most strongly toward stopper actions, with aerial dominator traits as the secondary layer. This is describing the player's style profile, not his rank.
