Scout report
Filipe Soares is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Nacional, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 251st of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Soares.
Judged on this season alone, Soares graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.471 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 33rd of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 27 Soares is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nacional finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25% 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 42.4, Soares carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
