Clean sheets

1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.4, Espigares carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 34%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
