3 goals in 16 appearances (0.19 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.26 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.

With a Rating of 29.9, García carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera Nacional (top 37%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
