We hold a single season for Moreira, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 32% of the 25 centre-backs in the Segunda Liga. At 22 Moreira is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Sporting CP B finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 33 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.4% 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 43.4, Moreira carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda Liga (top 32%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sporting CP B 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 solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
