Clean sheets

2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 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 6 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 64.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.5 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 73.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~49), then tapers with age. At 26, Paixão sits on 48.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Paixão's projected Rating — 73.9 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.
