Scout report
Nuno da Costa is a 35-year-old winger at Başakşehir, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 1 assists in 26 appearances, a Season grade of 14, top 43% of Süper Lig wingers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.1, ranking 320th of 326 in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (30.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Costa.
Judged on this season alone, Costa graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 23 of the 23 wingers in the Süper Lig, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 26 appearances (0.387 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 23rd of 23 of the 23 wingers in the Süper Lig. At 35 Costa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Başakşehir finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3 goals in 26 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 11.1, Costa carries the 23rd-highest potential of the wingers in the Süper Lig of 23. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
