Outlook
With a Rating of 23.3, Araújo carries the 23rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the First League of 31 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
