Key strength: Work rate
Box-to-box midfielder
At 32 years old, André Gomes finds himself on the periphery at LOSC Lille, where Les Dogues sit 5th in the table with a promising young squad. The Portuguese midfielder has managed just three appearances totaling 270 minutes this season, with zero goals or assists to show for his limited opportunities. While teammates like Hákon Arnar Haraldsson and Matías Fernández-Pardo—both boasting 78 ratings—command regular starting roles, Gomes battles for relevance with a modest 47 rating and €4.5M market valuation. Despite his diminished status, the former Barcelona and Everton man continues to bring his trademark work rate as a box-to-box midfielder. His experience could prove valuable during Lille's congested fixture schedule, but at his age and with limited minutes, the Portuguese international faces an uphill battle to reclaim a meaningful role in Bruno Génésio's plans. Gomes represents that poignant football narrative: a once-talented player clinging to a career while younger stars eclipse him.
