range pending · wider band
What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. Reads danger early and kills it before it grows.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

Playing style
J. Lerma is a box-to-box midfielder who plays with his head up and his timing sharp, constantly shuttling between phases without losing his defensive shape. His game is built on elite defensive reading: he anticipates the next pass, steps in cleanly, and resets possession with calm, practical decisions. In midfield, he looks like a player who understands where the danger will be before everyone else does.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
For Colombia at World Cup 2026, he brings the sort of midfield security that lets the team play with more freedom around him. In knockout football, that defensive awareness is invaluable: he can close spaces, steady transitions, and give Colombia a reliable base in the middle.
