Output in context · Chapecoense-sc finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 61.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 52.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
