Scout report
C. Cuesta is a 27-year-old central defender at Vasco DA Gama, rated 46.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 190th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuesta.
Judged on this season alone, Cuesta graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 2.784 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 32nd of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 27 Cuesta is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Vasco DA Gama finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.5, Cuesta carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
