Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sousa.
Judged on this season alone, Sousa graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 7 clean sheets and 4.219 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 37 → 38). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, top 40% of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 25 Sousa is in his prime years, and a market index of 61.2 reflects that trajectory.
Sousa is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 57.7, Sousa carries the 22nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Casa Pia finished 16th 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 (4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~61), then tapers with age. At 25, Sousa sits on 61.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sousa's projected Rating — 57.7 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.
