Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

David is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Vasco DA Gama, rated 30.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 230th of 356 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on David.

Judged on this season alone, David graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 4 goals and 2 assists in 24 appearances (0.482 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 24). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 23rd of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 31 David is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.

4 goals in 24 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.1, David carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 42, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vasco DA Gama finished 15th 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 (0.48 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
