Clean sheets

3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.4, Machado carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Mirassol finished 14th of 20) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
