Key strength: Vision and passing
Creative playmaker
At just 21 years old, Paraguayan attacking midfielder Hugo Cuenca finds himself navigating the challenging waters of Serie A with Genoa CFC, who currently sit in 14th position in the table. Despite his modest €300,000 market value and 43 overall rating, Cuenca brings a creative spark to a Genoa side desperately searching for consistency in their recent run of form. Positioned as a creative playmaker, Cuenca's key strengths lie in his vision and passing ability—evident in his 55-rated passing attribute that surpasses his overall rating. While still finding his footing among more established teammates like the highly-rated Morten Frendrup (72) and Vitinha (70), Cuenca represents the type of young, technically-minded prospect that could blossom in Italy's demanding tactical environment. With Genoa fighting to climb away from the relegation conversation, this Paraguayan youth international represents both present squad depth and future potential—a creative mind in a team that needs innovative solutions to break their poor run of results.
