An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.89 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sanusi.
Judged on this season alone, Sanusi graded 32 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 7 clean sheets and 2.894 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 50th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 29 Sanusi is in his prime years, and a market index of 21 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 36.1, Sanusi carries the 50th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~38), then tapers with age. At 29, Sanusi sits on 21, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sanusi's projected Rating — 36.1 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.
