Scout report
M. Palacios is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Wuhan Three Towns, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances, a Season grade of 21, top 71% of Super League centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.1, ranking 191st of 279 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (88.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Palacios.
Judged on this season alone, Palacios graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the Super League, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances (0.188 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 21). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 23rd of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the Super League. At 33 Palacios is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
3 goals in 30 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 13.1, Palacios carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League of 28, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Wuhan Three Towns 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
