Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 4). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6. At 37 Souza is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 3 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.
Rated 5.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 37, Souza sits on 0.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Souza's projected Rating — 5.8 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.
