Scout report
F. Grillitsch is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at SC Braga, rated 26.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 286th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grillitsch.
Judged on this season alone, Grillitsch graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.587 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 37th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 31 Grillitsch is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · SC Braga finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.4, Grillitsch carries the 37th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
