Scout report
PH Ganso is a 36-year-old central midfielder at Fluminense, rated 15.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 390th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ganso.
Judged on this season alone, Ganso graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.528 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 59th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 36 Ganso is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ganso missed 14 games through injury (calf, heart problems, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Fluminense finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, 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 15.7, Ganso carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
