Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

Vasco Oliveira is a 26-year-old central defender at Spartak Varna, rated 25.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 116th of 207 on scout potential in the First League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oliveira.

Judged on this season alone, Oliveira graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the First League, on 2 clean sheets and 3.34 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 20th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the First League. At 26 Oliveira is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.3% 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 25.1, Oliveira carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the First League of 37, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Spartak Varna finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
