Isaque is a 19-year-old midfielder at Shakhtar Donetsk. His statistical profile reads as a complete attacking midfielder. In 25/26: 24 appearances, used mainly from the bench.
His Level of 969 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 €1.3m–€3.25m, a band drawn from 8 comparable transfers, against a recorded market value of €1m. His output alone prices lower (€592k); 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 169 midfielders in the Ukrainian Premier League, 25/26. The weakest is ball recoveries, 45th in the same group.
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, 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 969 is well above the average for an Ukrainian Premier League midfielder. That average is drawn from 169 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 +0.28 across 223 sales abroad with a disclosed fee. The Level is a weak guide to playing time after a move: 36% of top-quartile players got at least 15 full matches of league football in a season at their new club, against 29% 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: 27 minutes, 1 match (0 starts), 0 goals, 0 assists.
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 169 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.

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-v1.1 on 522 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) = +0.069 raw; -0.013 against the retention residual once destination difficulty, loan status and age are accounted for (within-league composite alone: -0.024). 'Stuck' = >=1350 league minutes: top Level quartile 36% vs bottom quartile 29%. On step-up moves only (destination fitted stronger than origin): top-quartile 25% (n=83) vs bottom-quartile 25% (n=110). Identity join is by normalized name + birth-year (6 ambiguous names dropped); minutes retention is an availability-inclusive outcome - injuries count as failures. Secondary receipt: on 223 permanent exports with a disclosed fee, Spearman(pre-move Level, fee paid) = +0.278.
| Level quartile | Level range | Moves | Hits | Hit rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 (lowest Level) | 101–440 | 132 | 38 | 28.8% |
| Q2 | 440–587 | 129 | 42 | 32.6% |

| Q4 (highest Level) | 763–1359 | 131 | 47 | 35.9% |
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.
