On the season, Cardoso graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.718 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 32 Cardoso is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 22 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
