Goals / app

3 goals in 19 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.98 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.9, Cantalapiedra carries the 20th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 30, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vitoria finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
