Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Danilo Barbosa is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Botafogo, rated 26.3 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (1.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 7.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barbosa.

On the season, Barbosa graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 7.297 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26. At 30 Barbosa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Barbosa missed 3 games through injury (injury, pelvis) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 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.

Clean sheets

7.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 7.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
