1 goal in 13 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.1 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.9, Abaldo carries the 10th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 48 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.1 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
