1 goal in 15 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.9, Rafinha carries the 37th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Liga I of 48 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
