Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Manoel is a 36-year-old central defender at Fluminense, rated 12 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.04 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Manoel.

On the season, Manoel graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 1.04 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 36 Manoel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Manoel missed 10 games through injury (inactive, knee) 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.

Clean sheets

1.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
