Ricardo Mangas is a 28-year-old full-back at Sporting CP, rated 41.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 256th of 315 in the Primeira Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mangas.
Judged on this season alone, Mangas graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.806 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 47th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 28 Mangas is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 41.1, Mangas carries the 47th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 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 (~44), then tapers with age. At 28, Mangas sits on 26.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mangas's projected Rating — 41.1 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.
