Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

Lucas França is a 30-year-old goalkeeper at Nacional, rated 25.7 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on França.

On the season, França graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 2). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26. At 30 França is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 6 appearances (17% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (14th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% 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 25.7 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
