In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (47.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Adriano.

Judged on this season alone, Adriano graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 51 of the 51 central midfielders in the Super League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.306 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 7). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, top 2% of the 51 central midfielders in the Super League. At 26 Adriano is in his prime years, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.31 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.2, Adriano carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League (top 2%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16) — 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 light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
