others in the top 40

What the number means: if Pablo Felipe plays 90 minutes at a neutral venue against an average Liga defence, the model expects 0.32 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 0.17 and 0.48. Fewer minutes, wider 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 three Liga Portugal seasons they never have.

Did he improve? Can't say

Between 2024-25 and 2025-26 the estimate moved +0.032 — but the margin of error on that difference is ±0.138, 4.4 times larger. In other words: indistinguishable from zero. A big goal season is usually natural variation, not new skill.
