Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Neto is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at Botafogo, rated 10.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neto.

On the season, Neto graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 2). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11. At 37 Neto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.4% 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 10.8 overall — below regular-starter level. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
