Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Luis Guilherme is a 20-year-old attacking midfielder at Sporting CP, rated 60.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 94th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga and 212th of 993 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Guilherme.

Judged on this season alone, Guilherme graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 48 of the 48 attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 13 appearances (0.142 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 6). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, top 38% of the 48 attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 20 Guilherme is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 19.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Guilherme missed 4 games through injury (broken collarbone) out of roughly 34 this season. The 13 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.

Goals / app

1 goal in 13 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.1, Guilherme carries the 18th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 48 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
