Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dacosta.
Judged on this season alone, Dacosta graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 28 of the 28 full-backs in the NB I, on 2 clean sheets and 3.827 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 26th of 28 of the 28 full-backs in the NB I. At 30 Dacosta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 16.6, Dacosta carries the 26th-highest potential of the full-backs in the NB I of 28 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 30, Dacosta sits on 3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dacosta's projected Rating — 16.6 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.
