An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cícero.
Judged on this season alone, Cícero graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.419 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 20). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 35th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 29 Cícero is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Cícero is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Tondela finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.6, Cícero carries the 35th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Tondela finished 17th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
