Scout report
Matheus Pereira is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Fortaleza EC, rated 43.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 184th of 311 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.
Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 3.18 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 23). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 40th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Pereira is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Fortaleza EC finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.1% 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 43.4, Pereira carries the 40th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 65, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Fortaleza EC finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
