Independent rating — league strength (Opta-anchored) × competition tier × position-normalized output. Thin data: leans on league tier, caps and FC26 prior. Not affiliated with EA or FIFA.
Gabriel is the most reliable backup at centre-half and gives Ancelotti an aerial-threat option on set pieces — Brazil’s defensive corners have already produced two friendly-window goals from his head.
Strengths
- Aerial threat on attacking set pieces
- Recovery speed despite a 6'3 frame
