2 goals in 16 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.18 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.7, Benegas carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera Nacional (top 3%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.18 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
