On long-term talent our Rating reads 47. At 27 Bragança is in his prime years, and a market index of 17.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bragança missed 3 games through injury (ruptured cruciate ligament) out of roughly 34 this season. The 14 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 6 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 46.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
