Judged on this season alone, Jádson graded 33 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.929 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 33). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 42nd of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 32 Jádson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jádson missed 6 games through injury (yellow cards, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 35 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

2.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, 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 33, Jádson carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Juventude finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
