Judged on this season alone, Éderson graded 36 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 21 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.785 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, 10th of 21 of the 21 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 27 Éderson is in his prime years, and a market index of 39.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Éderson missed 4 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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.
