Scout report
Paulo Henrique is a 30-year-old full-back at Vasco DA Gama, rated 37.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 216th of 311 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (65.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Henrique.
Judged on this season alone, Henrique graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 46 of the 46 full-backs in the Serie A, on 1 clean sheet and 3.627 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 37th of 46 of the 46 full-backs in the Serie A. At 30 Henrique is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Vasco DA Gama finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.7, Henrique carries the 37th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 46, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Vasco DA Gama finished 19th 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 solid defensive volume (3.63 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× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
