Caps & goals this season.
Douglas Santos is a 32-year-old full-back at Zenit, rated 17 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 238th of 274 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (82.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Santos.
Judged on this season alone, Santos graded 57 — a standout campaign that ranks top 5% of the 47 full-backs in the Premier League, on 11 clean sheets and 3.748 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 66 → 57). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 42nd of 47 of the 47 full-backs in the Premier League. At 32 Santos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Santos missed 4 games through injury (shoulder, inactive) out of roughly 30 this season. The 23 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.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 17, Santos carries the 42nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 47. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 32, Santos sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 17 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.
