Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Panzo.
Judged on this season alone, Panzo graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 2 clean sheets and 4.438 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 24th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 25 Panzo is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Rio Ave finished 12th of 18 · a mid-table side
4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 55.5, Panzo carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
