On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 16th of 31 of the 31 defensive midfielders in the First League. At 27 Duarte is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Ludogorets finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
