In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (73% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Éderson.

Judged on this season alone, Éderson graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.785 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 28th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 27 Éderson is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Éderson missed 4 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
