Clean sheets

2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 62.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 56.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~81), then tapers with age. At 29, Dias sits on 44.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dias's projected Rating — 56.5 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.
