3 goals in 9 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.6, Almada carries the 19th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 28 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.55 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
