Clean sheets

3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.7% 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 34.8, Peixoto carries the 47th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 66 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
