Tackles

Interceptions

Clean sheets

3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 8 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Game time. Only 53.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Value & potential by age

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 36, Dornellas sits on 3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dornellas's projected Rating — 20.8 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.
