Clean sheets

2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 73.6, Vitinha carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 16%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
