G+A

Goals / app

5 goals in 32 appearances (0.16 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.34 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.3, Villa carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 74, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Independ. Rivadavia finished 14th of 15) — 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 (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
