Key strength: Vision and passing
Creative playmaker
At Deportivo Alavés, currently positioned 7th in the table, Brazilian attacking midfielder Calebe finds himself in a patient phase of his European career. The 25-year-old creative playmaker, valued at €2 million, has managed just 2 appearances totaling 180 minutes this season — a stark contrast to his teammates like Antonio Blanco (71 rating) and Carlos Vicente (70 rating) who dominate the starting XI. Despite his limited pitch time, Calebe brings a distinct profile as a vision-and-passing specialist, traits reflected in his 55 passing rating and creative playmaker designation. His two yellow cards suggest the competitive fire of a player desperate to prove himself, though the zero goals and assists underline the uphill battle for regular minutes. While Toni Martínez and Lucas Boyé lead the attacking line ahead of him, Calebe represents the kind of technical South American talent that, given sustained opportunity, could unlock the tightest Spanish defenses. For now, he waits on the periphery at Mendizorrotza, his €2m valuation a modest bet on potential rather than proven production.
