Output in context · Palmeiras finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71.9, Giay carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 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.
