Clean sheets

1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 14) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

Rated 7.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 33, Machado sits on 0.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Machado's projected Rating — 7.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
