Output in context · D. La Serena finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
11 goals in 20 appearances (0.55 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (13th of 16), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 14 goal contributions (0.7 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.72 goal contributions per 90 (0.57 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.6, Vargas carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera División (top 35%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (D. La Serena finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.72 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
