Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 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 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.5, Vagiannidis carries the 13th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 24%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
