Output in context · NAC Breda finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2 goals in 21 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.6, Paula carries the 31st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 56 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
