Clean sheets

4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 38.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 63.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~29), then tapers with age. At 23, Pereira sits on 29.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pereira's projected Rating — 63.4 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.
