2 goals in 22 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.6, Solari carries the 38th-highest potential of the wingers in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 56, 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 productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
