TactiQ Score, per-90 performance stats, and multi-season form — with direct routes into compare and rankings.
A fringe-level defensive midfielder in the Premier League sitting at 51.48 on the FQ scale — squarely in the typical performer band. Across 29 matches and 1,823 minutes this season, output is modest: 1.28 tackles per 90 and a 6.72 average match rating that does not clear the bar for a reliable starter in this role. The absence of granular sub-scores limits deeper diagnosis, but the headline numbers point to a player not yet meeting positional standards in England's top flight.
With an FQ score of 51.48 and no sub-score above threshold — in fact all sub-scores are null, preventing component-level breakdown — the score is driven by modest per-90 output: 1.28 tackles, 0.89 key passes, and 0.05 goals per 90 collectively fall short of what a Premier League defensive midfielder is expected to produce. The overall picture is one of below-baseline contribution across the board rather than a single identifiable weakness.
Form is in soft decline: the form score of 45.87 sits 5.61 points below the FQ score of 51.48, crossing the threshold for a meaningful downward trend. With high score confidence (0.85), this gap reflects genuine recent deterioration rather than measurement noise and warrants monitoring over the next fixture cycle.
Both occupy the defensive midfielder role at a similar FQ level (50.64 vs 51.48), reflecting comparable overall output; Palhinha is typically associated with higher tackle volume and physical dueling, which may represent a ceiling this player has not yet reached.
