Goals / app

10 goals in 39 appearances (0.26 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (15th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.38 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.14 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.2, Sarmiento carries the 5th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primera A (top 13%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Union Magdalena finished 15th of 20) — 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 productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
