Scout report
Paulo Oliveira is a 34-year-old central defender at SC Braga, rated 13.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 310th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oliveira.
Judged on this season alone, Oliveira graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.857 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 53rd of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 34 Oliveira is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · SC Braga finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, 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 13.1, Oliveira carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
