Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25, Pereira carries the 56th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
