Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

G. Caballero is a 24-year-old centre-forward at Portsmouth, rated 59.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 227th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (36.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Caballero.

Judged on this season alone, Caballero graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 12 appearances (0.118 involvements per 90).

We hold a single season for Caballero, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 33rd of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 24 Caballero is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Caballero missed 5 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 12 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.

1 goal in 12 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.12 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.3, Caballero carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.12 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
