Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

David is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Vasco DA Gama, rated 34.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 215th of 325 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (42.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on David.

Judged on this season alone, David graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 39 of the 39 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 21 appearances (0.453 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 22nd of 39 of the 39 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 30 David is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.5% 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 34.7, David carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 39, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vasco DA Gama finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
