Igor Cariús is a 33-year-old full-back at Sport Recife, rated 21.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 362nd of 427 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (57.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.07 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cariús.
Judged on this season alone, Cariús graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 3 clean sheets and 4.065 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 22). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 63rd of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 33 Cariús is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cariús missed 4 games through injury (hamstring, inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 21.7, Cariús carries the 63rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~29), then tapers with age. At 33, Cariús sits on 10, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cariús's projected Rating — 21.7 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.
