Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 17). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 35 Manuel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Varzim finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
0 goals in 11 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 7.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
