Scout report
F. Costa is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Vicenza Virtus, rated 22.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Costa.
On the season, Costa graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.03 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 10). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 31 Costa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Vicenza Virtus finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.3 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 17.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
