Gustavo Assunção is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at AVS, rated 43.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 244th of 315 in the Primeira Liga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Assunção.
Judged on this season alone, Assunção graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.055 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 30th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 26 Assunção is in his prime years, and a market index of 46 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.
With a Rating of 43.4, Assunção carries the 30th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 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.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~46), then tapers with age. At 26, Assunção sits on 46, at or near its peak. The blue line is Assunção's projected Rating — 43.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
