Clean sheets

4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.2, Ávila carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 9%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Fortaleza EC finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
