Scout report
Neto is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at Botafogo, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 3 appearances, a Season grade of 7. On long-term scout potential he's rated 5.5. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (11.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neto.
On the season, Neto graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6. At 37 Neto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Neto missed 17 games through injury (thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 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.
Neto is operating at his career peak — the 2023/24 level is the level.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
1 clean sheet in 3 appearances (33% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 11.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 5.5 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
