Career report
Carvalho is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Peak: 2025/26Holding levelBreakout: 2024/25StreakyStepped up 2021/22
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2026/27) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 163 appearances, 16 goals and 20 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2025/26 at Estoril — Season rating 51, 6 goals and 11 assists in 33 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 37 points at Estoril. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (45 → 51).
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±18 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2021/22 (Super League 1) and kept playing — 13 games that season.
