Project playerFull-back

José Gomes is a 30-year-old full-back at Nacional, rated 37.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 267th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (75.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gomes.

Judged on this season alone, Gomes graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 6 clean sheets and 2.84 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 48th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 30 Gomes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.5, Gomes carries the 48th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nacional finished 14th of 18) — 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 (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
