3 goals in 9 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.25 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 46.7, Braga carries the 3rd-highest potential of the wingers in the Premiership of 6 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.62 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
