*Latent Level: our cross-league performance index on a 0 to 1,000 scale, opponent-adjusted and calibrated on completed transfers — backtest published in full. UPL MF average, 25/26: 414 (n=171).
Isaque is a 19-year-old midfielder at Shakhtar Donetsk. His statistical profile reads as a goal-threat midfielder. In 25/26: 24 appearances, used mainly from the bench.
His Level of 663 is well above the average for an Ukrainian Premier League midfielder. On that gap he is ready for a league above the Ukrainian Premier League. That reading has 574′ of UEFA Conference League football behind it, not league data alone, though his goal output on those nights ran below his league numbers.
He should cost €1.52m–€3m, a band drawn from 10 comparable transfers, against a recorded market value of €1m. His output alone prices lower (€571k); the band is what buyers actually paid for the closest comparable profiles, which is the price a selling club can hold.
The strongest thing in the file is shot conversion: 98th percentile among 171 midfielders in the Ukrainian Premier League, 25/26. The weakest is ball recoveries, 45th in the same group.
The decision on Isaque in three parts: which squads the numbers argue for, what profiles like his have cost, and what the file cannot vouch for.
8 clubs were scored on level, squad need and feasibility. Trabzonspor is ranked first for fit: MF group of 10, averages 28.2 years to his 19, 4 contracts up by Jun 2027. The engine reads him as a moderate step-up (Level 586 against a cohort average of 432). A rank is a statement about fit, not a forecast: the engine does not say where he goes, only which squads the numbers argue for.
| Rank | Club | Step | Squad gap | Comparable fees | Paid comps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trabzonspor TUR Türkiye | step up | MF group 10 deep | €1.12m–€4.96m | 6 |
| 2 | Besiktas JK TUR Türkiye | step up | MF group 11 deep | €1.12m–€4.96m | 6 |
| 3 | KRC Genk BEL Belgium | lateral | MF group 6 deep | €425k–€1.3m | 6 |
| 4 | Club Brugge KV BEL Belgium | step up | MF group 9 deep | €425k–€1.3m | 6 |
| 5 | Union Saint-Gilloise BEL Belgium | step up | MF group 10 deep | €425k–€1.3m | 6 |
His recorded market value sits below the band's floor by €520k: the comparable market paid more than his listed value for profiles like his.
4 flags, 0 of them weak percentiles. Each is a number in this file, not an opinion; the section it comes from prints the detail.
No completed outgoing transfer on record: his Transfermarkt history shows no move away from a club to date.
The Latent Level is one number comparable across our seven leagues: a performance composite, adjusted for opponent strength within the league and for the league's own strength - calibrated on how players from each league actually fared after moving, not on reputation. It is an index on a 0 to 1,000 scale, not a percentile or a percentage, and cohort averages differ by competition - so it is only readable next to the positional average printed beside it.
His Level of 663 is well above the average for an Ukrainian Premier League midfielder. That average is drawn from 171 midfielders who played at least 270 minutes in the Ukrainian Premier League in the 2025/26 season.
Higher-Level players have sold for higher fees: rank correlation +0.24 across 1257 sales abroad with a disclosed fee. The Level is a modest guide to playing time after a move: 39% of top-quartile players got at least 15 full matches of league football in a season at their new club, against 28% from the bottom quartile.
The full backtest, with sample sizes, correlations and quartile hit rates, is printed in the Stated limits & methodology section at the end of this report.
Raw numbers only: 298 minutes, 6 matches (3 starts), 1 goal, 1 assist.
Sample too small to rank. Percentiles are published only once a player passes 270 minutes in a season; nothing below that gate is ranked anywhere in this report. His full ranked profile, from his last complete season, follows.
Every percentile below ranks Isaque within the group of 171 midfielders who played at least 270 minutes in the Ukrainian Premier League in the 2025/26 season - his last complete season with a sample big enough to rank. He is compared only with players from his own league, season and position, never across leagues or divisions.
| Season | Club | League | Min | Goals/90 | Assists/90 | Shots/90 | KP/90 | Pass % | Duel win % |

2 seasons carry a Level. From UPL 25/26 to UPL 26/27 the rating moved -77 (down). Each season is read against its own positional average, printed beside it, because the average differs by competition.
| Season | Minutes | Level | Positional avg | vs avg | Cohort |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UPL 25/26 | 1,105 | 663 | 414 | +249 | 171 |
| UPL 26/27 | 298 | 586 | 432 | +154 | 83 |
UPL 26/27 (298′): under 600 minutes. A rating on that sample moves with one good or bad month; read it as provisional.
Season-to-date rating at the end of each month once he had passed 270 minutes: lowest 493 (Nov 2025), highest 663 (May 2026), finishing on 663 after 1,105 minutes.

How Isaque is trending match by match in the UPL 25/26 - not the season average, but the direction of travel. Each reading is his trailing 10 appearances, a window wide enough to smooth one-game noise while still moving when his level does, with every match weighed by opposition difficulty.
Usage pattern: used mainly from the bench · 80′ average when starting · 29′ when introduced · 41% of his club's available minutes.

Every number in this report is computed from sources we name, under rules we publish, with its gaps stated. What follows is the full list of methods and limits - including the things this report deliberately does not claim.
Section 2 states this as one claim; these are the complete figures behind it.
Backtested level-v2.3 on 3597 abroad moves out of the seven covered leagues with a pre-move Level and Transfermarkt post-move league minutes (best of first two destination seasons, nominal 2700 min). Spearman(Level, minutes retention) = +0.105 raw; +0.075 against the retention residual once destination difficulty, loan status and age are accounted for (within-league composite alone: +0.091). 'Stuck' = >=1350 league minutes: top Level quartile 39% vs bottom quartile 28%. On step-up moves only (destination fitted stronger than origin): top-quartile 29% (n=454) vs bottom-quartile 23% (n=478). Identity join is by normalized name + birth-year (59 ambiguous names dropped); minutes retention is an availability-inclusive outcome - injuries count as failures. Secondary receipt: on 1257 permanent exports with a disclosed fee, Spearman(pre-move Level, fee paid) = +0.241.

No provider records these for our coverage. This report will never claim them.
Event-location data. No xG, no heatmaps, no pass maps. Our sources do not carry ball coordinates for these leagues, and we do not model or fake them.
Physical data. No sprints, distances or top speeds. No source collects them for these leagues; any physical claim would be invented.
These exist at sources we already draw from but are not yet ingested. They are coverage gaps we intend to close; until then the report treats them as absent rather than guessing.
Contract terms. Contract-expiry dates exist at source but are not yet in our databases, so no figure in this report leans on contract length.
Injury and absence reasons. A gap in the match log means he was not on the pitch, and that is all it means - our data does not yet separate injury from non-selection.
Ball-carry coverage. The provider collects carry metrics for a minority of our competitions today. They appear only where a season's coverage is complete.
