We hold a single season for Índio, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, top 8% of the 69 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 18 Índio is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 68 reflects that trajectory.
0.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 68.7, Índio carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 69 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~91), then tapers with age. At 18, Índio sits on 68, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Índio's projected Rating — 68.7 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.
