A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rodrigues.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 17).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, top 29% of the 42 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 21 Rodrigues is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.7 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Rodrigues is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · SC Braga finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.2, Rodrigues carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 42 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
