On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 29th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 26 Rivas is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Rivas missed 3 games through injury (injured) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 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.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
