Célio Pompeu is a 26-year-old central midfielder at St. Louis City, rated 36.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 291st of 790 in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pompeu.
Judged on this season alone, Pompeu graded 24 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 149 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 3.26 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 24). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, top 35% of the 149 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Pompeu is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.1 reflects that trajectory.
Pompeu is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 36.7, Pompeu carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 35%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City finished 13th of 15) — 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 (3.26 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.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 26, Pompeu sits on 19.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pompeu's projected Rating — 36.7 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.
