Lucas Soares is a 28-year-old full-back at Santa Clara, rated 44 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 240th of 315 in the Primeira Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (68.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Soares.
Judged on this season alone, Soares graded 30 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 7 clean sheets and 2.761 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 30). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 40th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 28 Soares is in his prime years, and a market index of 28 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.
With a Rating of 44, Soares carries the 40th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Santa Clara finished 13th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 28, Soares sits on 28, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Soares's projected Rating — 44 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.
