Clean sheets

4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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

Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 10% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.9 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~40), then tapers with age. At 21, Carvalho sits on 35.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Carvalho's projected Rating — 67.9 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.
