Judged on this season alone, González graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 54 of the 54 centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 4 goals and 2 assists in 26 appearances (0.265 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 25). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 46th of 54 of the 54 centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 33 González is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
