Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.2, Balieiro carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
