Clean sheets

4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 14.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 41.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 22, Mota sits on 9.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Mota's projected Rating — 41.6 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.
