Otávio is a steady, workmanlike central midfielder, known for his defensive reliability rather than creative flair. While his Sofascore rating places him in the top 41% of his positional peers, he lacks standout attacking contributions, recording no goals or assists this season. Durability is a concern, as he has missed a significant number of matches due to injuries, which may limit his impact on the pitch.
Availability: 52 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
