Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

Philippe Coutinho is a 34-year-old central midfielder at Vasco DA Gama, rated 9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (2.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Coutinho.

On the season, Coutinho graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 5 goals, 3 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 7). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9. At 34 Coutinho is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
