Carlos Júnior is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Al Shabab, rated 26.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 220th of 300 in the Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (35.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Júnior.
Judged on this season alone, Júnior graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 4 goals, 0 assists and 1.973 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 19). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 49th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 30 Júnior is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.5, Júnior carries the 49th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 63, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Shabab finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 30, Júnior sits on 10.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Júnior's projected Rating — 26.5 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.
