Diogo Calila is a 27-year-old full-back at Santa Clara, rated 42.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 248th of 315 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.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 42nd of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 27 Calila is in his prime years, and a market index of 45.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 42.5, Calila carries the 42nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Santa Clara finished 13th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.

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 (~45), then tapers with age. At 27, Calila sits on 45.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Calila's projected Rating — 42.5 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.
