Scout report
Michael is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Flamengo, rated 34.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 269th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.42 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Michael.
Judged on this season alone, Michael graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal and 3 assists in 15 appearances (0.558 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 40th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Michael is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Michael missed 8 games through injury (ankle, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 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 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Flamengo finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
1 goal in 15 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.42 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.9% 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 34.6, Michael carries the 40th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.56 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
