On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 38th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 31 Xeka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 23.7, Xeka carries the 38th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 31, Xeka sits on 11.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Xeka's projected Rating — 23.7 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.
