Clean sheets

1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 40.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.61 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 44.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 30, Celso sits on 14.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Celso's projected Rating — 44.7 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.
