Flamengo idol Zico analyzed Flamengo's offensive transformation in 2025 under Filipe Luís. For the former player, the decision to position Arrascaeta closer to the box was crucial in boosting the club's attack. "Many teams have eliminated my position. There's no such thing as a player who plays with the center forward. What Filipe Luís is doing at Flamengo is putting Arrascaeta alongside the center forward ," stated the Galinho.
Zico on Arrascaeta at Flamengo: "he never scored so many goals"
The change had a direct impact on the Uruguayan's stats. In 18 Brasileirão appearances, Arrascaeta has 11 goals and 10 assists, totaling 21 direct contributions. The average is impressive: one contribution every 64 minutes on the pitch. According to Zico, the number 10 has never been so close to scoring: " Arrascaeta has never scored so many goals and never reached the box as much as he is now ."
Rubro-Negro arrives for the 22nd round buoyed by the historic 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, the biggest in the points-based era. As the sole leader, Filipe Luís's team faces Grêmio this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. On the other side, the Tricolor gaúcho is going through an unstable moment : it occupies only 14th place in the table and, after the elimination in the South American, focuses its forces exclusively on the Brasileirão.
FLAMENGO: Rossi; Varela, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Jorginho, Saul and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro and Samuel Lino. Coach: Filipe Luis.
GRÊMIO: Tiago Volpi; Marcos Rocha, Noriega, Kannemann and Marlon; Cuéllar, Dodi and Edenilson; Alysson, Carlos Vinicius (Braithwaite) and Cristian Olivera. Coach: Mano Menezes.

Flamengo released this Sunday morning (31) the list of players related to the duel against Grêmio , valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The main absence is midfielder Jorginho , who had been in doubt throughout the week after feeling muscle discomfort.
Despite participating in a separate training session on Saturday, the player felt pain again during Sunday morning's training session and was rested by the coaching staff. See the list of players involved in the Brazilian Championship match.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo will also be without Alex Sandro, who is recovering from an injury . At left back, Filipe Luís will have Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña, both available for the match. Juninho, however, remains out of the club's plans and was not included in the list. The board is working to determine new destinations for the players.
The undisputed leader of the competition, Rubro-Negro, has 46 points from 20 games. Cruzeiro is right behind with 44, but has already played two games. Thus, Palmeiras, with 42 points and a game in hand, emerges as the main contender in the battle for the top spot . Immediately after the match at Maracanã, the São Paulo team faces Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, in a classic that could shake up the top of the table.
Flamengo and Grêmio face each other this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. While Mais Querido fights to extend its lead at the top , the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in 14th place, seeks to move away from the relegation zone.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (31) to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by Rede Globo , on open TV, and Premiere, on pay-per-view.
In midfield, Jorginho 's condition is a concern. The defensive midfielder is experiencing muscle discomfort and did not participate in training with the group during the week . He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.
Since his Club World Cup debut, Jorginho has established himself as a key player in the red-and-black squad. If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider. Pulgar remains out of the plans due to surgery on his right foot.
With the confirmed absences and the doubt over Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís should send the following team to the field at Flamengo : Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Rubro-Negro heads into the 22nd round as the sole leader of the Brasileirão, with 46 points, two ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who still have a game in hand . After the match against Grêmio, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.
