Rúben Lima Scout Report
Rúben Lima, the 34-year-old left midfielder for Estrela da Amadora, walks on razor thin ice in an age where youth is highly valued. His percentile rankings suggest a player who is most proficient in the realm of passing and crosses - his Progressive Passing and Successful Crosses per 90 percentages highlight his strongest attributes, placing him above more than half of his league peers. Yet, these strengths stand in strong contrast to Lima's functional deficiencies. The Portuguese veteran severely lacks in elements like Chance Creation, Progressive Carrying, and Successful Dribbles per 90, languishing in the bottom decile compared to contemporaries. His weakness in the domain of ball recovery and retention is also concerning, indicated by his low percentile rankings. The token of hope is his goal efficiency ranking in the 41st percentile—modest, but allowing for flashes of scoring talent. Presenting both a nuanced distribution ability but a dysfunctional offensive toolset, Lima is perhaps better fit in a more defensive role where his pronounced weaknesses are less likely to be exploited. His ability to play as a center back could serve as a potential reinvention, extending his utility in the twilight of his career.
