Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Merentiel.
Judged on this season alone, Merentiel graded 46 — a standout campaign that ranks top 1% of the 164 centre-forwards in the Primera Nacional, on 13 goals and 4 assists in 37 appearances (0.637 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 53 → 46). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 72nd of 164 of the 164 centre-forwards in the Primera Nacional. At 30 Merentiel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
13 goals in 37 appearances (0.35 per game) — double figures playing for a title-challenging side (1st of 15). He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 17 goal contributions (0.46 per appearance).
With a Rating of 34.1, Merentiel carries the 72nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera Nacional of 164. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.64 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 30, Merentiel sits on 12.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Merentiel's projected Rating — 34.1 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.
