Goals / app

3 goals in 23 appearances (0.13 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 (0.26 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 65.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.47 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 40, 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 5.8, Puch carries the 24th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primera División of 24, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Deportes Iquique finished 15th of 16) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.3 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
