Squad depthCentre-forward

Arthur Cabral is a 28-year-old centre-forward at Botafogo, rated 49.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 171st of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (46.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cabral.

Judged on this season alone, Cabral graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 53 of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 4 goals and 2 assists in 21 appearances (0.371 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 22). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, top 38% of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 28 Cabral is in his prime years, and a market index of 14 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cabral missed 3 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

4 goals in 21 appearances (0.19 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.2, Cabral carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A (top 38%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
