Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

Edu is a 26-year-old full-back at Vitoria, rated 54.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 145th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Edu.

Judged on this season alone, Edu graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets and 4.02 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 21). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 31st of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Edu is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Edu missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 21 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.

  • Defensive volume. 4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
