We hold a single season for Júnior, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42. At 21 Júnior is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Portimonense finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 41.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
