Clean sheets

4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.1, Reis carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 8 — though on just 31 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 34, Reis sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Reis's projected Rating — 9.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
