Data to 10 Oct 2026 (2026-27 season in progress)
What the number means: if Daniel Bragança plays 90 minutes at a neutral venue against an average Liga defence, the model expects 0.15 more goals than if that place were taken by a replacement-level player — the kind of signing any club can make for free. Goals are capped (winsorized) before the estimate, so one four-goal afternoon is not read as permanent skill.
The model puts 90% probability on the true value lying between 0.05 and 0.27. Fewer minutes, wider interval.

The same structure as the finishing metric, but adding goals and assists together. It sees what the goals-only metric could not: who creates.
Few minutes pull the estimate toward replacement level and widen the interval.

Season by season
Goals go up and down; the skill estimate barely moves. That is by design: the model only admits a change in skill when the data demand one, and across this player's three Liga Portugal seasons they never have.
| Season | Minutes | Goals | Skill (with margin) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-24 | 1,054 | 3 | +0.15 |
| 2024-25 | 1,086 | 3 | +0.15 |
| 2025-26 | 538 | 6 | +0.17 |
There is no telling whether he improved
Between 2024-25 and 2025-26 the estimate moved +0.019 — but the margin of error on that difference is ±0.102, 5.4 times larger. In other words: indistinguishable from zero. A big goal season is usually natural variation, not new skill.

Match-by-match data (SofaScore). The rating is the provider's, not the model's — the model only uses goals, minutes and opponent.
Bayesian player model fitted on 30,858 individual appearances since 2023-24, with a 600-minute minimum to qualify. Club = current squad (2026-27); the season-by-season table shows where he played each season. The finishing and contribution data runs to 10 October 2026, with the 2026-27 season in progress: minutes, goals and recent appearances stop there until those models are refitted; contested possession, goalkeepers and defenders use the seasons their own files list.
