Clean sheets

3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.6, Vitor carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (AVS finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
