Scout report

Project playerWinger

Pepê Aquino is a 29-year-old winger at FC Porto, rated 44.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 73rd of 133 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (73.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.28 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Aquino.

Judged on this season alone, Aquino graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 15 of the 15 wingers in the Primeira Liga, on 3 goals and 4 assists in 30 appearances (0.281 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 27). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 9th of 15 of the 15 wingers in the Primeira Liga. At 29 Aquino is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.4 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 30 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.23 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.9, Aquino carries the 9th-highest potential of the wingers in the Primeira Liga of 15. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
