An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (55% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Romão.

Judged on this season alone, Romão graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 10 of the 10 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.367 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 15). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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. 4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.8, Romão carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 10 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
