Scout report
Rafael Thyere is a 33-year-old central defender at Sport Recife, rated 22.5 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (62.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thyere.
On the season, Thyere graded 19 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets and 3.499 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 19). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23. At 33 Thyere is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sport Recife finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
