Goals / app

4 goals in 33 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.88 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49, Bóia carries the 38th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 48, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nacional finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
