The season has presented him as a midfield operator increasingly involved in goal attempts and finishing rather than purely defensive work — a profile that reads as an attacking-minded presence inside the center of the pitch.[^fact-1] ## Season form Volume has been substantial: 31 appearances and 2,079 minutes across the campaign, evidence that he has been a regular selection when available[^fact-2]. That volume has produced tangible end-product: 5 goals and 1 assist to date[^fact-3]. Provider metrics place his average rating at 6.79 for the season, a middle-tier figure that underlines reliable, if unspectacular, output across matches[^fact-4]. The underlying numbers from the last five matches show he carried expected goal involvement into recent weeks with 1.25 xG and 0.10 xA, indicating the team continued to funnel chances his way even if the final returns cooled[^fact-5]. Those underlying chances help explain how his scoring total reached five despite a quieter closing sequence. ## Availability & momentum Recent momentum has slowed. Across the last five appearances he logged 313 minutes with 0 goals and 1 assist, a downturn from earlier returns[^fact-6]. The most recent outing was a 0–1 loss at Leeds United in which he recorded 0 goals, 0 assists and a match rating of 6.23 — a modest showing in a defeat[^fact-7]. Availability is the immediate concern: currently sidelined with a knee injury, which removes him from selection while fitness is addressed[^fact-8]. That absence interrupts the run of minutes that produced the season’s five goals and may curtail any rhythm he had built across his 2,079 minutes on the pitch[^fact-2][^fact-3]. ## What to watch The next fixture on the calendar is against Manchester United on 2026-05-24T15:00:00+00:00; his presence or absence for that game will be decisive for any immediate impact he can still make this campaign[^fact-9]. If fit, the profile to track is whether the attacking chance volume shown in the last five matches (1.25 xG and 0.10 xA) converts back into goals or assists; if the underlying numbers remain in place, a short scoring run is the most direct route back to influence[^fact-5]. From a selection lens, the key signals are recovery from the knee issue and whether his average-season rating of 6.79 holds up in a post-injury sample — both will determine whether the season’s 5 goals and 1 assist remain a launching pad or simply a compact statistical footprint in 2,079 minutes of action[^fact-4][^fact-3][^fact-2]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 23 years old · Paraguay · Midfielder · current club Brighton & Hove Albion.
