The six face stats at a glance.
Rafael Lobato is a winger at Rio Ave FC, rated 63 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 78, RW. By the standards of the role, that's weak. At 19 they're aiming at 78. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

Their place is out wide as RW. Give them the ball out wide and space to attack: they beat their marker one-on-one and look for the byline or the shot from their side. They can also play LW and RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
Where they really hurt you is curve (70) and top speed (69). Their curve is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: crossing (58). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 1,3 M€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 63 with a ceiling of 78 — that's +15 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is RW, though they can also play LW and RM.
Their potential is 78. They start from 63, so they can rise +15 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 1,3 M€, with 2 K€ wages.
