Paulinho is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Vasco DA Gama, rated 32.3 overall by Field Insider's model.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paulinho.
On the season, Paulinho graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.991 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 1 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 29 Paulinho is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Paulinho missed 3 games through injury (lumbar vertebrae problems) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 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 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 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.
Rated 32.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~43), then tapers with age. At 29, Paulinho sits on 23.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Paulinho's projected Rating — 32.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
