Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.75 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.4, Amaral carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 10. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
