Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Nuno Namora is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Oliveirense, rated 29.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 75th of 108 on scout potential in the Segunda Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Namora.

Judged on this season alone, Namora graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.103 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 14). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 5th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 28 Namora is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.2, Namora carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 8, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Oliveirense finished 18th of 18) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
