João Pedro Cavaco Cancelo
Center Back · Barcelona · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 152 appearances with 31 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2021/22 at Manchester City — Season rating 96, 1 goal and 7 assists in 36 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 33 points at Barcelona. Form has slipped 38 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 77 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±27 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
