Goals / app

8 goals in 14 appearances (0.57 per game) for a title-challenging side. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 14 goal contributions (1 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 1.1 goal contributions per 90 (0.63 goals, 0.47 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.4, Mineiro carries the 1st-highest potential of the wingers in the Super League of 9 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.1 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
