Clean sheets

3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.7, Dasilva carries the 40th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 71. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
