Thin sample this season. Rémi Himbert has played 2 matches (67 min) so far, so sections that need a bigger sample to say anything reliable are not shown here — they are missing on purpose, not broken. See all seasons combined →
01
What Patterns Define Him?
His repeatable signature. A step only appears if its reliability score (sample size × match coverage) reaches at least Medium confidence — pattern mining, not anecdotes.
Signature: Only Link shows a proven, repeatable pattern this season — too little evidence yet (2 matches loaded) for a fuller signature chain.
Not a pattern: receive / move — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); finish — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); convert — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.

How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Lyon's output per match with Rémi Himbert (2 matches) versus without him (6 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 6 matches; treat every Δ below as noise until more games exist. A proper on-off model needs many more minutes.

Recruitment
Style and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Not raw event counts — football style scores: weighted models scored 0–100 against the 354 strikers in the pool (min 180 min). This is what separates players who post similar numbers but play differently. Proxy dimensions are inferred from on-ball data; true off-ball running / under-pressure context is not measured.
Why Pressing forward 79%: a weighted blend of defensive aggression 77 (weight 45%) + ball-winning 76 (weight 30%) + transition 53 (weight 25%). The score reflects how distinctively his profile SHAPE matches this archetype vs his peers.

Similar Players — in style space
Closest comparables measured on the style scores above, within the same position family — so it separates how players are alike, not just how much they touch the ball. Each line explains the shared strength and the divergent mechanism. A light physical-profile term (height / weight; this player: 178 cm) is included at a quarter of one style axis's weight — enough to break ties between stylistic twins, not to override style.Scope: pooled across the Ligue 1, Bundesliga, La Liga, Premier League and Serie A, percentiled within each player's own league before comparing — a match from another league is marked with its league name.
Style, not quality:a high match here means two players tend to produce the ball in similar ways — it is not a ranking, a scouting recommendation, or a claim that they are equally good.

Summary
Rémi Himbert is a pressing forward / transition runner: 0 goals from 0.00 xG (+0.00 vs expected), 0 shots, 0 box entries. A clinical finisher. [Off-ball runs, aerials and hold-up under contact need tracking/aerial data.]
Based on 2 matches (67 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a pressing forward / transition runner — best used in a system built around that identity.
His biggest room for growth is transition — even a modest improvement there would meaningfully lift his overall pressing forward profile.
