An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (49.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paquetá.
Judged on this season alone, Paquetá graded 31 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 0 assists and 2.835 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 31). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 31st of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Paquetá is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Flamengo finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.5, Paquetá carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
