Goals / app

2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.28 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.23 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.6% 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 39.2, Ferreira carries the 15th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Seattle Sounders finished 14th of 15) — 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 (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
