Scout report
Higor Meritão is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Chapecoense-sc, rated 22.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meritão.
On the season, Meritão graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.744 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 32 Meritão is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Chapecoense-sc finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.2% 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 22.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
