Goals / app

0 goals in 17 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.18 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.36 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.6, Lukebakio carries the 44th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 48 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
