Called up for Cape Verde Bebe was called up for AFCON 2023 with Cape Verde, and will miss most of January.
Impact Bebe will be away for at least a pair of matches at AFCON as he heads off to national team duty. It's possible that he is back as soon as a Jan. 27 trip to Sociedad. That said he could be back during a Jan. 31 trip to Atleti barring a deep knockout stage run.

Scores off bench again Bebe scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.
Impact Bebe saved Rayo from the loss as he scored in the final minutes of the match Sunday. It was also his second goal in a row off the bench, scoring twice in just six minutes of play. He has yet to start a game this season as he is only used as a super sub for the team.

Scores winning penalty Bebe scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win against Las Palmas.
Impact Bebe replaced Alvaro Garcia in the 89th minute and netted the winning penalty in the 92nd minute. He also made tackle. This was his first goal of the season. He has made six appearances this season but is yet to start a game.

Continues role on bench Bebe has made four appearances off the bench through the first 11 matches of the 2022/23 seasn.
Impact Bebe is at this point nearing the end of his career but he still can contribute on occasion. Look for his name to pop up-and his famous long shots-whenever there's a shortage of depth in the attack.

Takes three shots against Levante Bebe took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in last week's 4-2 defeat against Levante.
Impact Bebe tallied one goal and two assists across 29 La Liga appearances (six starts) this season, but the 31-year-old is firmly behind Isi Palazon in Rayo's right wing depth chart at the moment.

Takes three shots in loss Bebe had three off-target shots, sent in five inaccurate crosses and drew three fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Atletico Madrid.
Impact Bebe couldn't score as he did on the previous match but was still a menace on the right flank, being involved on several dangerous plays. The winger started three of the last four contests for Rayo and it looks like his strong play will probably guarantee him another start for Apr. 3 visit to Granada.

Scores in draw Bebe scored a goal off three shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in four crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.
Impact Bebe made his second start over the last three matches and had another great performance, scoring his side's lone goal with a powerful shot from a very tight angle in the first minute of the second half and being involved in several dangerous plays. This was the first goal of the season for the attacker and he'll hope it's enough for him to remain in the lineup for Saturday's home clash against Atletico Madrid.

Generates five crosses Bebe recorded a team-high five crosses (zero accurate) against Celta Vigo on Monday despite logging just 17 minutes off the bench.
Impact Bebe couldn't help his side break the deadlock but certainly had an immediate impact on the match. Still, the forward has been an unused substitute in three of the club's last six contests while playing a combined 29 minutes in the other three matches. Without a clear path to the starting XI, Bebe shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Assists off bench Bebe provided one assist on one chance created during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Bilbao.
Impact Bebe came off the bench for 11 minutes, his sixth appearance (one start) this season, grabbing his first goal contribution in a solid showing. He has led the team in set-pieces despite not starting a strange tally, but it does give him an oddly safe floor - when starting. Next up is a Sunday clash with Cadiz.

Impact Bebe had a decent outing for the visiting side. The 31-year-old came as a substitute in the 72nd minute and provided an assist for the team's only goal in the match 19 minutes later. It was Bebe's maiden assist of the league campaign.

Impact Despite playing less than 20 minutes, Bebe attempted more shots than any other Rayo Vallecano footballer. He could occasionally supply some value if available. However, Randy Nteka and Andres Martin seem to be more favorable starting options right now.
