  • Game time. Only 22.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.3, Ferreira carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 8 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
