A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Evangelista.

On the season, Evangelista graded 19 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.352 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30. At 31 Evangelista is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.6% 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 29.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
