Aderllan Santos is a 37-year-old central defender at AVS, rated 8.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 315th of 315 in the Primeira Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Santos.
Judged on this season alone, Santos graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 55 of the 55 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 2 clean sheets and 4.012 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 55th of 55 of the 55 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 37 Santos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 8.1, Santos carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (AVS finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 37, Santos sits on 2.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 8.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
