Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 3). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 53. At 23 Cabral is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Cabral is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Estrela finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 14.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 52.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
