Judged on this season alone, Castañeda graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 57 of the 57 centre-forwards in the Primera A, on 5 goals and 2 assists in 15 appearances (0.956 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 43rd of 57 of the 57 centre-forwards in the Primera A. At 32 Castañeda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

5 goals in 15 appearances (0.33 per game) for an upper-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.96 goal contributions per 90 (0.68 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.1, Castañeda carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera A of 57 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.96 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
