Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.4, Debast carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 22%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
