Output in context · Benfica finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.9, Araújo carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 25%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
