Scout report
João Reis is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Portimonense, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 0 assists in 16 appearances, a Season grade of 12, top 64% of Segunda Liga defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.5, ranking 106th of 111 in the Segunda Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (22.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Reis.
Judged on this season alone, Reis graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 11 of the 11 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.261 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 11th of 11 of the 11 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 34 Reis is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Portimonense finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 9.5, Reis carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 11 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
