Clean sheets

2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 72.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Outlook

Rated 31.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 30, Duarte sits on 6.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Duarte's projected Rating — 31.2 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.
