4 goals in 18 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.59 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.7, Bucca carries the 21st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 28 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 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.
