Scout report
Igor Paixão is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at Marseille, rated 75.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 92nd of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (73.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.23 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paixão.
Judged on this season alone, Paixão graded 45 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 6 goals and 5 assists in 30 appearances (0.5 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 74 → 45). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, 21st of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 26 Paixão is in his prime years, and a market index of 44 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Paixão missed 5 games through injury (muscle bruise, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
