Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Lima is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Fluminense, rated 34.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 270th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.24 goal contributions per 90 (0.16 goals, 0.08 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lima.

Judged on this season alone, Lima graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.241 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 41st of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Lima is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.2 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 28 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.24 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.5, Lima carries the 41st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.24 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
