Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths

- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 68.6, Inácio carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 6%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
