Goals / app

17 goals in 37 appearances (0.46 per game) is a 15-goal haul — and for a lower-table side (17th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.6, Budimir carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the La Liga of 11, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Osasuna finished 17th 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 (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
