Clean sheets

6.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 6.59 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

With a Rating of 72.3, Cuiabano carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A (top 14%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vasco DA Gama finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
