Lucas Ribeiro Costa is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Cultural Leonesa, rated 48.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 286th of 449 in the Segunda División. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (38% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Costa.
Judged on this season alone, Costa graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 90 of the 90 central midfielders in the Segunda División, on 5 goals, 2 assists and 1.439 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 22). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 62nd of 90 of the 90 central midfielders in the Segunda División. At 27 Costa is in his prime years, and a market index of 56.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (21st of 22) 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. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 48.1, Costa carries the 62nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División of 90, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Cultural Leonesa finished 21st of 22) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~57), then tapers with age. At 27, Costa sits on 56.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Costa's projected Rating — 48.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
