Scout report
Paulinho is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Vasco DA Gama, rated 32.3 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.99 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paulinho.
On the season, Paulinho graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.991 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 1 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 29 Paulinho is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Paulinho missed 3 games through injury (lumbar vertebrae problems) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 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 · Vasco DA Gama finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 32.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
