Scout report
José Fonte is a 42-year-old central defender at Casa Pia, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 0 assists in 18 appearances, a Season grade of 15, top 75% of Primeira Liga centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.1, ranking 315th of 317 in the Primeira Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (44.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fonte.
Judged on this season alone, Fonte graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 4 clean sheets and 2.378 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 55th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 42 Fonte is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Casa Pia finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 42, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 10.1, Fonte carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Casa Pia finished 16th 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 (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
