Goals / app

7 goals in 21 appearances (0.33 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 1 assist for 8 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 83% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.05 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.5, Cabral carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A (top 24%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Botafogo finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
