Output in context · Famalicao finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 63.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
