Clean sheets

3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 40.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 28, Almada sits on 6.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Almada's projected Rating — 40.3 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.
