Caps & goals this season.
C. Cuesta is a 27-year-old central defender at Vasco DA Gama, rated 46.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 206th of 427 in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuesta.
Judged on this season alone, Cuesta graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 2.784 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 37th of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 27 Cuesta is in his prime years, and a market index of 61.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
With a Rating of 46.5, Cuesta carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 72 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~61), then tapers with age. At 27, Cuesta sits on 61.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cuesta's projected Rating — 46.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
