Output in context · Palmeiras finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71, Giay carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 4%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
