Scout report
Paulo Henrique is a 30-year-old full-back at Vasco DA Gama, rated 45.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 199th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (97% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.73 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 43 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 5 clean sheets and 4.726 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 45 → 43). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 41st of 70 of the 70 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 16.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Henrique missed 8 games through injury and 1 suspension (thigh problems, yellow cards, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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.
A career still climbing — Henrique is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Vasco DA Gama finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 97% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.73 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 45.8, Henrique carries the 41st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vasco DA Gama finished 14th 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 (4.73 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).
