Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.26 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Juninho carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga MX of 43. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.79 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
