Clean sheets

1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 8 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 9) 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.

Outlook

Rated 5.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 40, Paraíba sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Paraíba's projected Rating — 5.2 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.
