Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

Lucas Evangelista is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Palmeiras, rated 29.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 246th of 325 on scout potential in the Serie A. 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.

Judged on this season alone, Evangelista graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Serie A, 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, 56th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Serie A. 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

With a Rating of 29.5, Evangelista carries the 56th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 71. 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).
