On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 23rd of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Primera A. At 31 Herrera is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Fortaleza FC finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
4 goals in 14 appearances (0.29 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.5 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 17.6, Herrera carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera A of 44 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
