Output. 0.26 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 34.9, Cóccaro carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 61, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Newells Old Boys finished 14th 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 28, Cóccaro sits on 5.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cóccaro's projected Rating — 34.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
