On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.5, ranking 113th of 279 in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (41.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.97 goal contributions per 90 (0.81 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Moraes.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 32). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

G+A

Goals / app

10 goals in 13 appearances (0.77 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (12th of 16), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 2 assists for 12 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.97 goal contributions per 90 (0.81 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.3% 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 19.5, Moraes carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League of 28 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.97 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
