Scout report
João Paulo is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at Santos, rated 20 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (0% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paulo.
On the season, Paulo graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20. At 31 Paulo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.3 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 · Santos finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
7 clean sheets in 34 appearances (21% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (17th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 20 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
