Scout report
Lucas Ribeiro Costa is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Cultural Leonesa, rated 48.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 284th of 452 on scout potential 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 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 91 of the 91 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 36 → 25). 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 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the Segunda División. At 27 Costa is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cultural Leonesa finished 21st of 22 · a relegation-threatened side
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.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.44 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.1, Costa carries the 62nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División of 91, 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.
