Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.92 goal contributions per 90 (0.76 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 77.3, Chupe carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Segunda División (top 2%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.92 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
