Scout report
João Basso is a 29-year-old central defender at Santos, rated 35.1 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Basso.
On the season, Basso graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 2.942 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 29 Basso is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Basso missed 3 games through injury (adductor) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Santos finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 6 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 35.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
