Outlook

With a Rating of 44.6, Helinho carries the 7th-highest potential of the wingers in the Liga MX of 16. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.01 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.
