Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

R. Contreras is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Universidad de Chile, enjoying a standout season — 9 goals and 1 assists in 21 appearances, a Season grade of 26, top 43% of Primera División centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.2, ranking 159th of 278 in the Primera División. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (35% of available minutes). He brings 0.95 goal contributions per 90 (0.86 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Contreras.

Judged on this season alone, Contreras graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 40 of the 40 centre-forwards in the Primera División, on 9 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances (0.953 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 26). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 20th of 40 of the 40 centre-forwards in the Primera División. At 30 Contreras is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
