Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 75.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 57.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
