The profile is that of a forward‑leaning attacker tasked with providing width and penetration; the statistical picture this season, however, points to limited influence in the final third[^fact-1]. ## Season form Usage has been modest: 13 appearances and 836 minutes on the pitch across the season[^fact-2]. That volume has yielded 2 goals and 0 assists, a raw output that underlines a scarcity of decisive end‑product per minutes played[^fact-3]. Provider rating averages 6.78 for the campaign, which positions him as a below‑star performer in a context where consistent attacking returns are required[^fact-4]. The available numbers do not include underlying finishing or chance‑creation metrics (xG/xA), so the picture is limited to boxscore output and minutes. Even so, 2 goals from 836 minutes is the clearest signal: opportunity exists, but conversion into tangible attacking returns has been rare this season[^fact-2][^fact-3]. The 6.78 average rating corroborates a season that has not produced the kind of standout performances that drive selection certainty[^fact-4]. ## Availability & momentum Availability appears steady enough to accumulate the minutes recorded, with the 13 appearances and 836 minutes forming the only supplied marker of match involvement[^fact-2]. No separate injury or suspension data were provided in the facts; therefore fitness trends must be read through that match‑count prism rather than through explicit medical reports[^fact-2]. Momentum is hard to define from the supplied figures alone: there is no sequence of recent starts, goals, or assists in the facts to signal an upward run. What is clear is that the season totals show a player who has been used but has not converted that usage into sustained attacking returns[^fact-2][^fact-3][^fact-4]. ## What to watch Next assignment is against Coritiba on 2026-05-17T14:00:00+00:00 — a concrete checkpoint for any midseason reassessment[^fact-5]. Given the minutes already logged and the low goals/assists tally, the two things to monitor are: whether selection increases beyond the current minutes base, and whether any uptick in goal involvements accompanies that greater responsibility[^fact-2][^fact-3]. For observers prioritising value in matchday decisions, the salient data points are the modest usage and the thin end‑product: 13 appearances and 836 minutes with 2 goals and no assists make the next fixture an obvious moment to judge whether the statistical trend — a 6.78 average provider rating and limited final‑third returns — is about to change[^fact-2][^fact-3][^fact-4][^fact-5]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 25 years old · Argentina · Attacker · current club Santos.
