LUCAS PAQUETÁ
Midfielder · Flamengo RJ
“A relentless two-way midfielder who turns pressure into threat.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Lucas Paquetá remains a prime attacking midfielder with clear value, but that value is checked by the competition level in his recent minutes and by how often he was not fully used when fit. His most recent sharpness came at West Ham, with his longest settled spell at Flamengo.

Analysis overview
Lucas Paquetá reads like a box-to-box midfielder who hunts the ball first and asks questions later. He presses high with real bite, tracks danger early, and uses elite defensive reading to win back shape for Brazil before stepping forward into the attack. Once he breaks the line, he carries a clinical goal threat, arriving with purpose and timing rather than drifting through the game.
