Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cardoso.

We hold a single season for Cardoso, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 3rd of 7 of the 7 wingers in the Segunda Liga. At 20 Cardoso is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.7 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 29 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.8, Cardoso carries the 3rd-highest potential of the wingers in the Segunda Liga of 7 — though on just 29 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
