Injury-affected season

Scout report
João Paulo is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at Santos, rated 20.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (0% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paulo.
On the season, Paulo graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets across 9 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 0). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21. At 31 Paulo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Paulo missed 10 games through injury (knee, inactive) out of roughly 14 this season. The 9 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 2021/22 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
0 clean sheets in 9 appearances (0% of games).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 20.6 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
