We hold a single season for Ananias, 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 61. At 18 Ananias is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 21.6 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Santos finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 60.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
