João Pedro Loureiro da Costa
Full Back · Brighton · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 151 appearances with 17 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Rio Ave — Season rating 58, 3 goals and 3 assists in 33 games. 2022/23 was the leap — Season rating up 26 points at Rio Ave. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (52 → 45). The gap to his peak is 13 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2022/23 (Primeira Liga) and kept playing — 33 games that season.
