Clean sheets

2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 1 goal and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.4, Dorval carries the 12th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie B (top 16%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Bari finished 17th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
