Clean sheets

2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 23.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~39), then tapers with age. At 24, Santos sits on 39.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 67.4 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.
