On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, 20th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 26 Lelo is in his prime years, and a market index of 60.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 57, Lelo carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~60), then tapers with age. At 26, Lelo sits on 60.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Lelo's projected Rating — 57 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.
