Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.2, Morita carries the 72nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 75. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
