Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 18 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.

Strengths

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

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.2% 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 38.6, Nascimento carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League 1 (top 8%). 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.
