Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.9, Caíque carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 20. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
