Scout report

Experienced headGoal-getting Centre-forward

Gerard Moreno is a 34-year-old centre-forward at Villarreal, enjoying a standout season — 10 goals and 0 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 51, top 23% of La Liga centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 27.3, ranking 362nd of 389 in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (60% of available minutes). He brings 0.67 goal contributions per 90 (0.67 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Moreno.

Judged on this season alone, Moreno graded 51 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga, on 10 goals and 0 assists in 22 appearances (0.667 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 51). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 40th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga. At 34 Moreno is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 15.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Moreno missed 13 games through injury (hamstring, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

10 goals in 22 appearances (0.45 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (3rd of 20).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.67 goal contributions per 90 (0.67 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, 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 27.3, Moreno carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the La Liga of 44. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.67 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
