Output in context · Atletico Paranaense finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 91.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.5 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 29 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
