Those minutes have produced 0 goals and 1 assist in official output[^fact-3]. His provider rating sits at 6.39 across the season, a middle-ground quantitative read on impact per appearance[^fact-4]. Over the last five matches he has registered 0.02 xG and 0.10 xA, figures that underline more chance-creation than finishing expectation in that sample[^fact-5]. Across his most recent three appearances the raw counting-line is 0 goals and 1 assist in 40 minutes of play, concentrating his output into very small time-on-field windows[^fact-6]. ## Availability & momentum Minutes have been the limiting factor: 40 minutes spread over three appearances this season indicates usage as a very occasional option rather than a regular starter[^fact-2][^fact-6]. The last match involvement came in a 3–0 win at Gil Vicente, in which Blopa recorded 0 goals and 0 assists[^fact-7]. That clean statistical sheet in the last outing did not add to his attacking returns, leaving the single assist as the standout contribution so far[^fact-3]. The current momentum reads as ‘high-impact brief appearances’ rather than sustained match rhythm, given the combination of few appearances and tightly concentrated minutes[^fact-2][^fact-6]. ## What to watch Next fixture: monitoring whether Sporting CP extends Blopa beyond cameo minutes will be decisive for any short-term projection; the candidate signal to watch is a rise in minutes from the current 40 across three appearances[^fact-2][^fact-6]. Value pick surfaced from the data is situational: when on the pitch Blopa has already delivered an assist, and his last-five xA (0.10) is the clearest clue that chance creation is the most-repeatable part of his profile if afforded minutes[^fact-3][^fact-5]. For readers tracking breakout thresholds, the key indicator will be a jump in minutes that converts the present per-minute signs of creativity into sustained output[^fact-2][^fact-5]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 18 years old · Defender · current club Sporting CP.
