On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 33rd of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Super Liga. At 31 Rodrigão is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 8) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.8, Rodrigão carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super Liga of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
