He brings 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0.03 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Martínez.

Judged on this season alone, Martínez graded 59 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 19 goals and 1 assist in 32 appearances (0.647 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 46 → 59). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 21% of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Martínez is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Martínez missed 6 games through injury (international duty, knee, leg) out of roughly 39 this season. The 32 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
