Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Richards.
Judged on this season alone, Richards graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 1 clean sheet and 3.333 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 51st of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 28 Richards is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances.
With a Rating of 36, Richards carries the 51st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~38), then tapers with age. At 28, Richards sits on 22.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Richards's projected Rating — 36 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.
