Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Full-back

Gabriel Pires is a 32-year-old full-back at Panserraikos, rated 10.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pires.

On the season, Pires graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 4.358 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 2). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11. At 32 Pires is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 14) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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

Rated 10.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
