Interceptions

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 10) 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.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 32.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 24, Júnior sits on 27.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Júnior's projected Rating — 58.4 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.
