Scout report
Pepê is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Vitoria, rated 40.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 231st of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pepê.
Judged on this season alone, Pepê graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.595 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 30th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Pepê is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pepê missed 3 games through injury and 1 suspension (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 14 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 · Vitoria finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.8, Pepê carries the 30th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
