Zé Pedro is a 29-year-old central defender at Cagliari, rated 49 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 285th of 385 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (63.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pedro.
Judged on this season alone, Pedro graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets and 3.363 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 26). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 37th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Pedro is in his prime years, and a market index of 46.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pedro missed 8 games through injury (knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 49, Pedro carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 51, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~84), then tapers with age. At 29, Pedro sits on 46.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pedro's projected Rating — 49 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.
