João Marques is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Casa Pia, rated 53.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 141st of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Marques.

Judged on this season alone, Marques graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 23 of the 23 wingers in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.493 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 10th of 23 of the 23 wingers in the Primeira Liga. At 24 Marques is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.7, Marques carries the 10th-highest potential of the wingers in the Primeira Liga of 23 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
