Scout report
André Sousa is a 28-year-old full-back at Pacos Ferreira, rated 29.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 67th of 111 on scout potential in the Segunda Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sousa.
Judged on this season alone, Sousa graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 13 of the 13 full-backs in the Segunda Liga, on 2 clean sheets and 4.475 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 8th of 13 of the 13 full-backs in the Segunda Liga. At 28 Sousa is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.
Sousa is operating at his career peak — the 2022/23 level is the level.
Output in context · Pacos Ferreira finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.7% 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 29.4, Sousa carries the 8th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda Liga of 13 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
