Scout report

Experienced headDefensive midfielder

Otávio is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Fluminense, rated 20.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Otávio.

On the season, Otávio graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.506 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20. At 32 Otávio is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Otávio missed 19 games through injury (achilles tendon, achilles tendon rupture) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 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.

Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
