R. Tolói is a 35-year-old full-back at Sao Paulo, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 7 appearances, a Season grade of 14. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.4. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (17.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tolói.

On the season, Tolói graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 5.68 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 35 Tolói is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Tolói missed 5 games through injury (hamstring, injury, hip) out of roughly 38 this season. The 7 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.

Clean sheets

5.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
