Project playerFull-back

Joca is a 30-year-old full-back at Volos NFC, rated 24 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 160th of 267 on scout potential in the Super League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (74.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Joca.

Judged on this season alone, Joca graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Super League 1, on 3 clean sheets and 2.109 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 29th of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Super League 1. At 30 Joca is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24, Joca carries the 29th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League 1 of 39. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
