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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 20th of 30 of the 30 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Dunga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 21) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.8, Dunga carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 30 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
