We hold a single season for Núñez, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 22% of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 21 Núñez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 21.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Nacional finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.9, Núñez carries the 12th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 22%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nacional finished 14th of 18) — 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 (3.17 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
