Clean sheets

2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 79.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.6, Gilbert carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.

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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 23, Gilbert sits on 25.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Gilbert's projected Rating — 64.6 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.
