Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Capixaba.

Judged on this season alone, Capixaba graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 6 clean sheets and 3.752 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 38). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 39th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Capixaba is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Capixaba missed 9 games through injury (inflamed ligaments of the knee, thigh, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.5, Capixaba carries the 39th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
