Lucas Eduardo dos Santos João
Center Forward · Nacional · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 4 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 2 clubs, including a move abroad — 116 appearances, 36 goals and 12 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2020/21 at Reading — Season rating 60, 19 goals and 7 assists in 39 games. Form has slipped 29 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 57 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±20 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2025/26 (Primeira Liga) and kept playing — 19 games that season.
