Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 46). Across the 7 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 50th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 32 Pulgar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.4 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Pulgar is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Flamengo finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, 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 36.1, Pulgar carries the 50th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 65 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
