Judged on this season alone, Gustavo graded 42 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Super League, on 7 goals and 0 assists in 13 appearances (0.746 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 42). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 19th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Super League. At 32 Gustavo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.75 goal contributions per 90 (0.75 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook
With a Rating of 15.1, Gustavo carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League of 22 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.75 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
