On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. At 31 Costa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Leixoes finished 7th of 18 · a mid-table side
3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 16.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
