Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

S. Eustáquio is a 29-year-old central midfielder at FC Porto, rated 30.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 62nd of 76 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Eustáquio.

Judged on this season alone, Eustáquio graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.424 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 18). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 19th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 29 Eustáquio is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.6, Eustáquio carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 20 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
