Fabinho is a 24-year-old defensive midfielder at RB Bragantino, rated 62.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 79th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (43.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fabinho.

Judged on this season alone, Fabinho graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.214 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 17). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 18% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 24 Fabinho is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Fabinho missed 5 games through injury (inactive, knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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.
