In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sousa.
On the season, Sousa graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.601 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 26 Sousa is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sousa missed 21 games through injury (ankle, inactive, knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 8 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 39.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 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.
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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 26, Sousa sits on 25.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sousa's projected Rating — 39.9 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.
