Scout report
Júnior Santos is a 31-year-old winger at Atletico-MG, rated 26.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Santos.
On the season, Santos graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 0 assists in 16 appearances (0.439 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 31 Santos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Santos missed 20 games through injury (hip, muscle, flu) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Atletico-MG finished 11th of 20 · a mid-table side
2 goals in 16 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24% 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 26.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
