Clean sheets

5.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 5.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 63, Formiga carries the 24th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Mirassol finished 14th 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 high defensive volume (5.28 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
