Scout report

Squad depthWinger

Matheus Martins is a 23-year-old winger at Botafogo, rated 60.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 79th of 422 on scout potential in the Serie A. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Martins.

Judged on this season alone, Martins graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 36 of the 36 wingers in the Serie A, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 15 appearances (0.135 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, top 31% of the 36 wingers in the Serie A. At 23 Martins is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Martins missed 16 games through injury (hamstring, muscle, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 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.

1 goal in 15 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.4% 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 60.8, Martins carries the 11th-highest potential of the wingers in the Serie A of 36 — though on just 15 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). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
