Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

B. Kuscevic is a 30-year-old central defender at Fortaleza EC, rated 34.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 268th of 422 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kuscevic.

Judged on this season alone, Kuscevic graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 86 of the 86 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 5 clean sheets and 3.484 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 48th of 86 of the 86 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 30 Kuscevic is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kuscevic missed 3 games through injury and 2 suspensions (hamstring, international duty) 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.

Clean sheets

3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.6% 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 34.3, Kuscevic carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 86, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Fortaleza EC finished 18th of 20) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
