Valentín Mariano José Castellanos Giménez
Center Forward · West Ham · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2026/27) across 4 clubs, including a move abroad — 189 appearances, 63 goals and 18 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2021/22 at New York City FC — Season rating 69, 22 goals and 8 assists in 35 games. 2021/22 was the leap — Season rating up 33 points at New York City FC. Form has slipped 34 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 54 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 7 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
