Scout report
L. Acosta is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Fluminense, rated 29 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 293rd of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (46.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Acosta.
Judged on this season alone, Acosta graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 16 appearances (0.369 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 65 → 22). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 45th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 32 Acosta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Acosta missed 4 games through injury (yellow cards, inactive, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Fluminense finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3 goals in 16 appearances (0.19 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29, Acosta carries the 45th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
