We hold a single season for Tiago, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 45th of 52 of the 52 central midfielders in the Super League. At 33 Tiago is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
0.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 10.2, Tiago carries the 45th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 52, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 33, Tiago sits on 1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tiago's projected Rating — 10.2 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.
