Output in context · Rio Ave finished 12th of 18 · a mid-table side
2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.4, Mancha carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
