Scout report

Experienced headWinger

Raphael Veiga is a 31-year-old winger at Club America, rated 20.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 300th of 340 on scout potential in the Liga MX. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Veiga.

Judged on this season alone, Veiga graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 13 of the 13 wingers in the Liga MX, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 15 appearances (0.423 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 13th of 13 of the 13 wingers in the Liga MX. At 31 Veiga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Veiga missed 7 games through injury (shoulder, pubis bone contusion, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 15 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 20.7, Veiga carries the 13th-highest potential of the wingers in the Liga MX of 13 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
