0.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.2, Alves carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 42 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
