Judged on this season alone, Freitas graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 71 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.157 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 39 → 38). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 44th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Freitas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.4 reflects that trajectory.
Freitas is operating at his career peak — the 2026/27 level is the level.
Output in context · Palmeiras finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 98.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 42.5, Freitas carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 71. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
