Scout report
Daniel Júnior is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Nacional, rated 52.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 145th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Júnior.
Judged on this season alone, Júnior graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 48 of the 48 attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.869 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 10). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 26th of 48 of the 48 attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 24 Júnior is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Nacional finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 52.7, Júnior carries the 26th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 48 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
