Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cardoso.
On the season, Cardoso graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.461 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37. At 25 Cardoso is in his prime years, and a market index of 25 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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.
Rated 36.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 25, Cardoso sits on 25, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cardoso's projected Rating — 36.7 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.
