On long-term scout potential he's rated 36.1, ranking 260th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (78.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hermes.
Judged on this season alone, Hermes graded 49 — a standout campaign that ranks top 2% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 5 assists and 2.841 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 27 → 49). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 37th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Hermes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.9 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Hermes is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Juventude finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- 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 36.1, Hermes carries the 37th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Juventude finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
