We hold a single season for Costa, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, top 13% of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 20 Costa is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.
4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 48.4, Costa carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga (top 13%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 20, Costa sits on 10.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Costa's projected Rating — 48.4 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.
