7.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Defensive volume. 7.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 26.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.83 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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 30, Barbosa sits on 6.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Barbosa's projected Rating — 26.2 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.
