Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 61st of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 36 Eduardo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.57 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.9, Eduardo carries the 61st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 65 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
