Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Luis Otávio is a 19-year-old defensive midfielder at Internacional, rated 60.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 92nd of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A and 190th of 993 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Otávio.

Judged on this season alone, Otávio graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.719 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 8).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, top 22% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 19 Otávio is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 23.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Otávio missed 4 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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.

Clean sheets

4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.7, Otávio carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
