Goals / app

7 goals in 36 appearances (0.19 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.33 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.89 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.6, Moreira carries the 9th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A (top 30%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vasco DA Gama finished 14th 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 productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
