Output in context · Bahia finished 7th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60, Xavier carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
