Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 1 → 4). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50. At 26 Paula is in his prime years, and a market index of 24 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 11.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 50.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
