Scout report
Richardson is a 35-year-old central midfielder at Ceara, rated 12.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 302nd of 311 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Richardson.
Judged on this season alone, Richardson graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 64th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.84 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 65th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 35 Richardson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Ceara finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.1% 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
With a Rating of 12.9, Richardson carries the 65th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 65 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
