Scout report
Ricardo Alves is a 35-year-old central defender at Chaves, rated 7.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alves.
On the season, Alves graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 1.848 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 35 Alves is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Chaves finished 9th of 18 · a mid-table side
1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 11.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 7.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
