Scout report
Léo Pereira is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Sport Recife, rated 53.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 88th of 252 on scout potential in the First League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (38.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.
Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 3rd of 7 of the 7 wingers in the First League, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 1.721 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 21). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 3rd of 7 of the 7 wingers in the First League. At 26 Pereira is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Pereira is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Sport Recife finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.72 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 53.8, Pereira carries the 3rd-highest potential of the wingers in the First League of 7, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th of 20) — 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 light defensive volume (1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
