Clean sheets

3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.1, Pereira carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 42. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
