On long-term talent our Rating reads 9. At 37 Heleno is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Paysandu finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — 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 27.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
