4 goals in 27 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.84 goal contributions per 90 (0.56 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.3, Oliveira carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the K League 1 of 21 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.84 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
