Scout report
Célio Pompeu is a 26-year-old central midfielder at St. Louis City, rated 36.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 223rd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pompeu.
Judged on this season alone, Pompeu graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 3.26 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 25). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 41st of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Pompeu is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Pompeu is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · St. Louis City finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 48.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.7, Pompeu carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City finished 13th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 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.
