In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (82.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Júnior.
Judged on this season alone, Júnior graded 41 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 5 clean sheets and 4.487 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 30 → 41). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, 25th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 27 Júnior is in his prime years, and a market index of 31.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Júnior missed 6 games through injury (sprained ankle, knee, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
A career still climbing — Júnior is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · PSV Eindhoven finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 9 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.39 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 4.49 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 64, Júnior carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 48. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
