Scout report
Lucas Cunha is a 29-year-old central defender at Sport Recife, rated 31.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cunha.
On the season, Cunha graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.295 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 29 Cunha is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sport Recife finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 31.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
