Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

G. Plata is a 25-year-old centre-forward at Flamengo, rated 67.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 31st of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.33 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Plata.

Judged on this season alone, Plata graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 53 of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.331 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, top 10% of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 25 Plata is in his prime years, and a market index of 32 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Plata missed 8 games through injury and 1 suspension (knee, hamstring, international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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.
