3 clean sheets in 10 appearances (30% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.7, Figueira carries the 18th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Primeira Liga of 24 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 28, Figueira sits on 8.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Figueira's projected Rating — 38.7 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.
