Goals / app

6 goals in 10 appearances (0.6 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 2 assists for 8 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.14 goal contributions per 90 (0.86 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.7, Marcinho carries the 8th-highest potential of the wingers in the J1 League of 9 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.14 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
