Scout report
Matheusinho is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Sport Recife, rated 46.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 180th of 422 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (49% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matheusinho.
Judged on this season alone, Matheusinho graded 28 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 97 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 3 assists and 2.685 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 28). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 44th of 97 of the 97 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Matheusinho is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Matheusinho missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (heel spur) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
A career still climbing — Matheusinho is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Sport Recife finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.6, Matheusinho carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 97, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th 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 (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
