Clean sheets

4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.4% 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 28.9, Namora carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 11 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
