Clean sheets

2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (10th of 14) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, 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 12, Sousa carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League 1 of 56, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kifisia finished 10th of 14) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
