Diogo Calila is a 27-year-old full-back at Santa Clara, rated 43.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 246th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Calila.

Judged on this season alone, Calila graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.25 defensive actions per 90.

In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
