Output in context · Newells Old Boys finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
5 goals in 27 appearances (0.19 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 60.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.8, Herrera carries the 45th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 74, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Newells Old Boys finished 15th of 15) — 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 (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
