Judged on this season alone, Vinicius graded 37 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 5 clean sheets and 3.975 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 38 → 37). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 40th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Vinicius is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Vinicius missed 7 games through injury (injury, back, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 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.
A career still climbing — Vinicius is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.

Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
