Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 38). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 50th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 33 Henrique is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Henrique missed 8 games through injury (groin, muscle fatigue, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
