Mateus Cocão is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Vasco DA Gama, rated 55.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 154th of 427 in the Serie A. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.52 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cocão.
Judged on this season alone, Cocão graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 66th of 69 of the 69 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.522 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 7). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, top 37% of the 69 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 24 Cocão is in his prime years, and a market index of 73 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
With a Rating of 55.3, Cocão carries the 25th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 69 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
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 (~73), then tapers with age. At 24, Cocão sits on 73, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cocão's projected Rating — 55.3 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.
