Scout report
Zé Pedro is a 29-year-old central defender at FC Porto, rated 29.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 287th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pedro.
Judged on this season alone, Pedro graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 0 clean sheets and 3 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 37th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Pedro is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pedro missed 8 games through injury (knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 2 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Porto finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 1% 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 29.2, Pedro carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 52 — though on just 2 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
