Scout report
Luiz Otávio is a 37-year-old central defender at Ceara, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 0 assists in 23 appearances, a Season grade of 26. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.9. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (53.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Otávio.
On the season, Otávio graded 26 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 4.641 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 26). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13. At 37 Otávio is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Ceara finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 12.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
