Domestic-league totals per season. RTG = Field Insider Rating (potential / ceiling); Season = age-blind form that year.
David Luiz is a 39-year-old central defender at Fortaleza EC, rated 7.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.99 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Luiz.
On the season, Luiz graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.99 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7. At 39 Luiz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Luiz missed 4 games through injury (thigh problems, knock) out of roughly 38 this season. The 7 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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.
Rated 7.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 39, Luiz sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Luiz's projected Rating — 7.3 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.
