Scout report
Thiago Santos is a 36-year-old central midfielder at Fluminense, rated 10.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Santos.
On the season, Santos graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.078 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11. At 36 Santos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Fluminense finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 10.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
