Scouting Report & Player Insights
Anderson Talisca is a towering Brazilian attacking midfielder who returned to Turkish football with Fenerbahçe in 2025 after a prolific spell at Al-Nassr. He is a shooter above all: a devastating long-range and free-kick striker of the ball who arrives late in the box and adds a genuine aerial threat. His work out of possession is limited, so he is best deployed as a number ten or second striker with runners around him, a role in which he has delivered goals in every league he has played.
Broke through at Bahia before joining Benfica in 2014, winning league titles in Portugal.
Became a fan favourite at Besiktas on loan, scoring heavily and winning the 2016-17 Süper Lig title.
Was a consistent double-digit goalscorer from midfield at Guangzhou Evergrande and Al-Nassr, where he played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
Renowned free-kick and long-range shooting specialist throughout his career.
