Scout report
J. Dacosta is a 30-year-old full-back at Debreceni VSC, rated 16.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 112th of 167 on scout potential in the NB I. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.83 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dacosta.
Judged on this season alone, Dacosta graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 28 of the 28 full-backs in the NB I, on 2 clean sheets and 3.827 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 25th of 28 of the 28 full-backs in the NB I. At 30 Dacosta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Debreceni VSC finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.4% 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 16.6, Dacosta carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the NB I of 28 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
