Raphael Veiga is a 31-year-old winger at Palmeiras, rated 30 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.33 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Veiga.

On the season, Veiga graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances (0.497 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30. At 31 Veiga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 25 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.24 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.33 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 30 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
