3 goals in 22 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, 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 3.4, Benegas carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera División of 40 — though on just 22 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 (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
