3 goals in 14 appearances (0.21 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.8% 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 32.8, Cóccaro carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 54 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
