Wingers · Benfica · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 2 clubs, including a move abroad — 165 appearances, 53 goals and 41 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Benfica — Season rating 71, 14 goals and 12 assists in 30 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 31 points at Benfica. Form has slipped 52 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 52 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 5 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
