Scout report

Experienced headWinger

M. Meza is a 33-year-old winger at Independiente, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 0 assists in 14 appearances, a Season grade of 25, top 65% of Liga Profesional Argentina wingers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.3, ranking 515th of 553 in the Liga Profesional Argentina. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (41.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meza.

Judged on this season alone, Meza graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 65 of the 65 wingers in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 14 appearances (0.519 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 25). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 62nd of 65 of the 65 wingers in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 33 Meza is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

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

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.3, Meza carries the 62nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 65 — 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 (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
