Cano v Everaldo, Ganso’s game time, Martinelli shines: Fluminense 2025 | OneFootball

Journalist Gabriel Amaral published a survey of Fluminense players who have surpassed the mark of 1,000 minutes on the field in the 2025 season. The ranking helps to understand Renato Gaúcho's choices and how the squad has been utilized throughout the year.

Goalkeeper Fábio leads by a wide margin, having played 3,150 minutes in 35 games. The outfield player with the most minutes is Martinelli (2,299 minutes in 31 games), followed by Samuel Xavier (2,138 minutes in 28 games), showing the consistency of both.

In defense, Thiago Silva stands out, with an average of 86 minutes per game, demonstrating the consistency of the Tricolor captain.

In attack, the most striking data is the comparison between the center-forwards: Everaldo has 2,040 minutes in 33 matches, while Germán Cano is below, with 1,326 minutes in 22 games. This means that even with the status of top scorer, Cano has played less than Everaldo throughout the season, despite Cano having a similar proportion of games as a starter.

Another relevant point is the playing time of Paulo Henrique Ganso, who records 1,003 minutes in 22 games, with an average of 46 minutes per match. Despite being an important technical piece, according to the coach, the midfielder has been used more strategically, entering at specific moments of the matches.

It is also worth noting the case of Hércules, who appears with 2,066 minutes in 32 games, but only 23 as a starter. This shows how important the midfielder has been in the squad's rotation, frequently coming on during matches.

With the final stretch of the season and decisions ahead, the way Renato distributes minutes among the main players can be decisive for Tricolor's performance.
