Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

With a Rating of 41.9, Valiente carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 35%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 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.
