What about Strikers?


ST, AM L Junior Barrios, Peru, Professional, speaks Spanish, Quechua, Aymara, paid 1.2 mill to sign him from a Mexican club – Morelia. Worth 725, paid 10k/week, hot prospect, through 2021. This is my future Agra/Stepinski/Rocker guy is things work well (and I suspect they will). On loan back to Morelia for the year. He has some unusual and attractive qualities. Let’s look.

Physical – 16, 15, 8, 8, 14, 14, 12, 13
Mental – 9, 8, 8, 5, 13, 4, 9, 13, 11, 12, 13, 8, 18, 14
Technical – 11, 13, 14, 16, 13, 11, 6, 12, 3, 9, 16, 10, 12, 11

Alright, let’s unpack him – fast – 16/14 is obvious, and 16 finishing makes sense. What else? Well, in addition to solid stuff like 16 passing, 14 dribbling, and such, note that he has an unusual 12 in tackling, 9 marking and 13 strength for a prospect still developing. If those continue to improve, we may have a very unusual defensively minded forward to experiment with.


So, welcome to the club!
