I still really like Darwin Nunez. He falls into that bracket of player for me where he probably won’t ever truly be elite, but his presence and shot volume make him such a handful for defenders that I think he’s worth having in a side with more efficient attacking talent around him.
He’s Uruguay’s best forward option at the moment and enjoyed a pretty decent season in Saudi Arabia, registering 10 goal contributions across just 14 starts. He's still very willing to take on shots, averaging 3.09 per 90 across the season as a whole, with 23 of these efforts finding the target (1.65 per 90).
He’s scored 13 goals across 38 caps for Uruguay, and I think he’ll be a real threat here to a pretty vulnerable Saudi Arabia backline. He scored five goals for Uruguay during qualifying, maintaining an average of 1.20 shots on target per 90.
