Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.2 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.2, Núñez carries the 32nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 57 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
