Goals / app

3 goals in 52 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 8 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.84 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 10.3, Chará carries the 36th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primera A of 41. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
