The profile across his brief usage this season reads as a squad forward brought in for short spells rather than sustained attacking responsibility[^fact-2]. ## Season form Game volume is negligible: 2 appearances and 92 minutes on the pitch so far this season[^fact-2]. Output has been almost non-existent in counting stats, with no goals or assists recorded in the latest sample of matches[^fact-5]. Expected threat in the last five matches is low — 0.09 xG across that span[^fact-4] — and the underlying output matches that figure in real terms. Provider ratings place Meza at an average of 6.46 across the season, suggesting below‑impact performances relative to what would be required to change a match decisively[^fact-3]. ## Availability & momentum Availability looks limited but not clarified by injuries in the supplied facts; usage has been intermittent, reflected in the modest minutes total of 92 across two appearances[^fact-2]. Recent momentum is flat: zero goals and zero assists over the last five matches and 46 minutes across the last one appearance, indicating Meza has not been able to build rhythm on the pitch[^fact-5]. In his latest outing he featured in a 0–1 defeat at Atlético Tucumán, logging no goal contributions and earning a match rating of 6.55[^fact-6]. That single-game rating is marginally above his season average but still aligned with a peripheral attacking role[^fact-3][^fact-6]. ## What to watch The immediate tactical indicator to monitor is whether minutes increase from the current baseline of 92 total minutes and two appearances — any upward shift would be the only clear signal that Meza is being moved from short‑term cover into a more integral role[^fact-2]. Given the present data, the value in watching Meza lies in tracking touches in advanced positions and involvement in chance-creating sequences, because his last-five xG of 0.09 implies that measurable goal threat is currently scarce[^fact-4]. Also note the lack of goal contributions across recent outings and the single-match rating of 6.55 in the most recent loss as reference points for judging regained form[^fact-5][^fact-6]. For match-readers and modelers, the key question is simple: will minutes rise above the current two-appearance, 92-minute baseline — only then will there be sufficient sample to reassess Meza’s attacking value at River Plate[^fact-2]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 33 years old · Argentina · Attacker · current club River Plate.
