Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 65.9, Serafim carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
