Antônio Carlos is a 33-year-old central defender at Houston Dynamo, rated 31.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 390th of 418 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (67.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carlos.
Judged on this season alone, Carlos graded 35 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 81 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 2 clean sheets and 3.129 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 35). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 77th of 81 of the 81 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 33 Carlos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 22.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Carlos missed 3 games through injury (lower-body, inactive, hamstring) out of roughly 3 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 31.7, Carlos carries the 77th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 81 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~63), then tapers with age. At 33, Carlos sits on 22.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Carlos's projected Rating — 31.7 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.
