On long-term scout potential he's rated 35, ranking 265th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (56.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Evangelista.
Judged on this season alone, Evangelista graded 35 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.305 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 38 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 41st of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Evangelista is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Evangelista missed 17 games through injury (hamstring, injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 19 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 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Palmeiras finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 35, Evangelista carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
