On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.2, ranking 394th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (62.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.83 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rocha.

Judged on this season alone, Rocha graded 36 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 5.826 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 44 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 68th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 37 Rocha is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Rocha missed 4 games through injury (hamstring, inactive, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 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

5.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.2, Rocha carries the 68th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
