Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

Cauly is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Sao Paulo, rated 36.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 223rd of 311 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (53.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cauly.

Judged on this season alone, Cauly graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 32 of the 32 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 14 appearances (0.133 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 14). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 22nd of 32 of the 32 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 30 Cauly is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 14 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.13 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.4, Cauly carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 32 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.13 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
