Gonzalo Melero is a goal-scoring central midfielder with a knack for finding the net, as highlighted by his impressive non-penalty goals per 90 minutes in the top 26% of his peers. While his overall quality places him in the bottom 41% of positional counterparts, his durability stands out, with zero games missed over the past three seasons. However, he may not excel in defensive contributions, such as clearances or winning possession in the attacking third, which limits his impact in those areas.
Strengths: Non-penalty goals. Availability: no injuries recorded in the last 3 seasons.
