Scout report
Willian Oliveira is a 33-year-old defensive midfielder at Vitoria, rated 22.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 340th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (54.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.71 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oliveira.
Judged on this season alone, Oliveira graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.712 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 21). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 48th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 33 Oliveira is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Oliveira missed 9 games through injury (knee, unknown, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Vitoria finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.7% 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 22.5, Oliveira carries the 48th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
