We hold a single season for Luiz, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26. At 27 Luiz is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.8 reflects that trajectory.
1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 25.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.67 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.

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 27, Luiz sits on 13.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Luiz's projected Rating — 25.6 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.
