Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 16).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64. At 18 Lucas is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 22.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Sport Recife finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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. 4.21 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 47.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 63.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.21 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.
