Clean sheets

1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.49 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.9, Tetê carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Gremio finished 15th 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 light defensive volume (1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
