Interceptions

Clean sheets

10 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 10 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 0.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (10 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.

Market valueRating

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 22, Santos sits on 18.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 51.5 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.
