Wanderson is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Cruzeiro, rated 36.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 270th of 427 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wanderson.
Judged on this season alone, Wanderson graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 69 of the 69 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 0.895 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 18). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 46th of 69 of the 69 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Wanderson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 21.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Wanderson missed 10 games through injury (thigh, injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
0.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 36.7, Wanderson carries the 46th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 69. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~48), then tapers with age. At 31, Wanderson sits on 21.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Wanderson's projected Rating — 36.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
