Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

Joel Pereira is a 30-year-old full-back at Lech Poznan, rated 21.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 94th of 169 on scout potential in the Ekstraklasa. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (51.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.

Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 19 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 28 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa, on 5 clean sheets and 2.905 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 37). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 15th of 28 of the 28 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa. At 30 Pereira is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.9, Pereira carries the 15th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 28. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
