Rafael Cabral serves as Salt Lake's platinum engine—a rare classification for a goalkeeper that speaks volumes about his active involvement. Bringing a wealth of experience from lengthy stints at Napoli and Santos, the 36-year-old is busy building his body of work and proving his worth in this new chapter.

The data paints a clear picture of a shot-stopper who refuses to stay planted on his goal line. Officially recognised as a SWEEPER KEEPER, his distribution numbers over his first 450 minutes highlight a player deeply connected to the build-up phase. Through five appearances, the veteran is firmly on an upward trajectory, shrugging off any early rust. What stands out most in our verdict is his unexpectedly high Dribbling dimension. Rather than just clearing his lines, he operates essentially as an eleventh outfield player. He shows supreme confidence taking touches outside the penalty box to sustain attacking momentum and dictate the tempo from deep.

Valued at €0M, the veteran's market presence remains entirely stable as he secures his unique role in the squad. The focus here is squarely on immediate tactical output rather than long-term resale potential. His vast experience brings immeasurable value to a defensive unit needing a proactive, vocal presence at the back.
