Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 14) 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.

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Outlook

Rated 38.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 23, Nascimento sits on 6.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Nascimento's projected Rating — 38.6 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.
