Watch points

Game time. Only 19.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 20, Moreira sits on 10.2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Moreira's projected Rating — 49 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.
