Goals / app

15 goals in 24 appearances (0.63 per game) is a 15-goal haul — and for a lower-table side (11th of 16), 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 10 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 25 goal contributions (1.04 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 98% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 1.06 goal contributions per 90 (0.64 goals, 0.43 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, 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 11.4, Valencia carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera División of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportes Limache finished 11th of 16) — 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 genuine goal threat (1.06 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
