Scout report

Project playerBall-winning Full-back

Gabriel Pereira is a 26-year-old full-back at FC Copenhagen, rated 40.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 93rd of 207 on scout potential in the Superliga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (85.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.61 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.

Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 40 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 38 full-backs in the Superliga, on 6 clean sheets and 4.609 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 33 → 40). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 19th of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Superliga. At 26 Pereira is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Pereira missed 5 games through injury (groin, injury) out of roughly 33 this season. The 26 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.
