Scout report
David Duarte is a 31-year-old central defender at Bahia, rated 37.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 212th of 325 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.66 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Duarte.
Judged on this season alone, Duarte graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 64 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 6 clean sheets and 2.658 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 38th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Duarte is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.7 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Duarte is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Bahia finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- 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 37.4, Duarte carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 64. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
