3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.
Rated 41.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 24, Pires sits on 28.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pires's projected Rating — 41.5 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.
