Clean sheets

3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.4, Pedro carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda Liga of 25 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
