On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 27th of 33 of the 33 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 30 Dunga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.7% 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 27.6, Dunga carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 33 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
