Clean sheets

1.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.65 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.5, Moreira carries the 28th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 32. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
