Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Alexsander is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Atletico-MG, rated 61.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 86th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A and 594th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alexsander.

Judged on this season alone, Alexsander graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 5.158 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 18). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 20% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 22 Alexsander is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 27.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Alexsander missed 7 games through injury (injury, knee, 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

5.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.6, Alexsander carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
