Clean sheets

4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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

Availability. On the pitch for 66.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 29.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 27, Santos sits on 6.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 29.5 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.
