Rafael Thyere is a 33-year-old central defender at Sport Recife, rated 24.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 344th of 427 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.9% 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.
Judged on this season alone, Thyere graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 3 clean sheets and 3.499 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 22). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 58th of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 33 Thyere is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Thyere missed 5 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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.
With a Rating of 24.3, Thyere carries the 58th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 72, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th 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 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).

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 (~32), then tapers with age. At 33, Thyere sits on 11.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Thyere's projected Rating — 24.3 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.
