On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 15th of 20 of the 20 centre-forwards in the First League. At 30 Franco is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.2, Franco carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the First League of 20. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
