Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

Lucas Oliveira is a 30-year-old full-back at Vasco DA Gama, rated 26.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oliveira.

On the season, Oliveira graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 6 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 30 Oliveira is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
