Carlos Vinicius features in all 19 Grêmio games in 2026, leads Brasileirão scoring with six | OneFootball

Carlos Vinicius is Grêmios leading scorer and the only player to feature in all 19 matches in 2026. He has started 16 times, logged 1,453 minutes and scored 11 goals, six in the Brasileirão where he leads the chart.

According to Globo.com, he has started every Brasileirão game, only failing to start in Gauchão fixtures when Luís Castro rotated against São José, Guarany and Juventude. When named in the XI, he has not played fewer than about 70 minutes.

The figures underline a step up in availability from last year. After arriving in August, he missed six of 20 possible games, four through fitness issues and two via suspension, while scoring 12 in 14 appearances.

New signing Weverton is next for minutes with 1,350 across 15 starts. The remainder of the top 10 under Luís Castro are holdovers from last season, namely Noriega, Viery, Marlon, Pavon, Arthur, Amuzu, Gustavo Martins and Willian, with Amuzu and Willian both appearing 16 times.

At centre-back, youngsters Gustavo Martins and Viery have earned starting roles. Viery has displaced Wagner Leonardo and has nine straight starts. Gustavo Martins, back from injury, came on in the second half against Vasco after a difficult first half for Balbuena.
