Douglas Luiz is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Aston Villa, rated 58 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 303rd of 418 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (45.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Luiz.
Judged on this season alone, Luiz graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.909 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 36th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Luiz is in his prime years, and a market index of 69.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Luiz missed 7 games through injury (hamstring, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 21 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 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 58, Luiz carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~116), then tapers with age. At 28, Luiz sits on 69.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Luiz's projected Rating — 58 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.
