The profile is that of a squad attacker who offers positional flexibility in the final third while not yet producing volume returns to force a starting berth[^fact-1]. ## Season form Across the season Freitas has 13 appearances and 573 minutes on the pitch[^fact-2]. Those minutes have yielded 1 goal and 2 assists in total, a low raw output given the opportunity he has had[^fact-3]. Provider metrics suggest modest influence: his season average rating sits at 6.80[^fact-4]. Over the last five matches the expected output is 0.20 xG and 0.40 xA, which points to chances created outpacing shooting threat in that short sample[^fact-5]. ## Availability & momentum Recent usage shows a concentrated burst rather than steady long runs: in the last five appearances Freitas has played 164 minutes, registering 0 goals and 2 assists across that stretch[^fact-6]. That pattern implies manager trust in specific match moments rather than consistent 90-minute assignments[^fact-6]. He featured in River Plate’s most recent match, a 1–0 win over Rosario Central, where he delivered 0 goals and 0 assists and recorded a 6.86 rating for the outing[^fact-7]. That single-match rating is slightly above his season average but did not coincide with a direct end-product contribution[^fact-7][^fact-4]. ## What to watch The short-run storyline is supply versus finish: Freitas’s last-five numbers show more chance creation than shot volume (0.40 xA versus 0.20 xG), and two assists in that window underline his capacity to be a maker when deployed[^fact-5][^fact-6]. Watch how River Plate chooses to deploy him in the next fixture — extended minutes would clarify whether the assists are the start of a trend or a small-sample blip[^fact-6]. For match-level consideration, the value surfaced is his assist potential from limited minutes: when used as a rotational attacking option he has delivered two assists in 164 minutes across five appearances, a rate that could be of interest if the team continues to use him selectively[^fact-6][^fact-3]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — Argentina · Attacker · current club River Plate.
