Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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.
With a Rating of 56.5, Carlos carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 24, Carlos sits on 21.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Carlos's projected Rating — 56.5 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.
