Output in context · CFRJ / Maricá finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 3.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 9.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
