Outlook
With a Rating of 47.8, Valido carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Primeira Liga of 24 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
