Goals / app

14 goals in 35 appearances (0.4 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (6th of 20). Add 2 assists for 16 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.76 goal contributions per 90 (0.66 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 29.6, Iglesias carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the La Liga of 13. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.76 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
