2 goals in 32 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.11 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 63.6, Mandaca carries the 10th-highest potential of the wingers in the Serie A (top 24%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Juventude finished 19th of 20) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.11 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
