Scout report
Vitor Carvalho is a 29-year-old central defender at SC Braga, rated 36.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 270th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carvalho.
Judged on this season alone, Carvalho graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 4 clean sheets and 2.275 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 40th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 29 Carvalho is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · SC Braga finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.4, Carvalho carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
