Clean sheets

4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 87.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 62.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~27), then tapers with age. At 25, Vitor sits on 26.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Vitor's projected Rating — 62.1 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.
