Scout report
F. Carballo is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Gremio, rated 26.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 244th of 311 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (53.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carballo.
Judged on this season alone, Carballo graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 15 of the 15 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.555 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 15). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 12th of 15 of the 15 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Carballo is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gremio finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.2, Carballo carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 15, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Gremio finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
