Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Pedro Augusto is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Sport Recife, rated 32.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Augusto.

On the season, Augusto graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.004 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33. At 29 Augusto is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Augusto missed 5 games through injury and 1 suspension (hip, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 14 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

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.5% 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 32.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
