Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 65.2 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~39), then tapers with age. At 24, Pinheiro sits on 39.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pinheiro's projected Rating — 65.2 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.
