Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Tiago Ferreira is a 33-year-old central defender at Pacos Ferreira, rated 12 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 94th of 108 on scout potential in the Segunda Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ferreira.

Judged on this season alone, Ferreira graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 25 of the 25 centre-backs in the Segunda Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 1.4 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 19th of 25 of the 25 centre-backs in the Segunda Liga. At 33 Ferreira is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 29.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 12, Ferreira carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda Liga of 25, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pacos Ferreira finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
