The profile is simple on paper: a veteran forward who remains the nominal endpoint for chances inside the box rather than a high-volume creator[^fact-1]. ## Season form The season under review is defined by heavy minutes — 38 appearances and 3,191 minutes over the campaign[^fact-2] — paired with a clearly defined output: 18 goals and 2 assists[^fact-3]. That conversion profile frames Bacca as a finisher-first forward rather than a progressive or chance-creation hub. Provider-facing metrics show a season-average rating of 7.08, which underlines that the contributions have been steady across matches rather than spiky[^fact-4]. On creative expectation in the most recent window, the last five matches produced only 0.10 expected assists, indicating minimal chance-creation influence in that sample[^fact-5]. ## Availability & momentum Fitness availability appears to have been sufficient to sustain the season volume — reflected in the 3,191 minutes total[^fact-2] — but momentum has cooled. The last five appearances have yielded 0 goals and 0 assists from just 41 minutes on the pitch, a clear drop in both usage and end-product[^fact-6]. The immediate match state shows a goalless draw against Espanyol where Bacca was on the scoresheet for neither side and recorded a match rating of 7.04[^fact-7]. That last-match rating is consistent with his season average but the match outcome and the curtailed minutes in recent fixtures point to diminishing on-field influence in the short term[^fact-4][^fact-7][^fact-6]. ## What to watch The main watch-item is whether minutes increase from the recent low — the last five appearances totaled only 41 minutes[^fact-6] — because his season profile demonstrates output when given time: 18 goals across the season[^fact-3] from sustained participation[^fact-2]. If the coaching staff restores regular minutes, the existing season conversion and rating suggest an avenue back to tangible returns, but if minutes stay suppressed the expected assist and goal contribution look likely to remain minimal given the last-five xA of 0.10 and the scoreless recent run[^fact-5][^fact-6]. The upcoming fixture will clarify whether minutes and influence revert to the season baseline or continue at the reduced level seen in the last five appearances[^fact-6]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 39 years old · Colombia · Attacker · current club Granada.
