Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 0). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28. At 27 Caiado is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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.
Rated 28.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 27, Caiado sits on 6.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Caiado's projected Rating — 28.3 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.
