On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 13th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 25 Cunha is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Cunha is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Pacos Ferreira finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 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
- Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.1, Cunha carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 20 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
