Clean sheets

3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.5, Anilson carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 20 — though on just 30 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
