Scouting Report & Player Insights
Federico Viñas is a Uruguayan target-man striker who built his reputation in MLS with Nashville SC before moving to Spain to join newly-promoted Real Oviedo. He is a physical, hold-up forward who thrives on aerial duels, shielding the ball with his back to goal, and getting on the end of crosses and knockdowns rather than beating defenders one-on-one. At Oviedo he faces a significant step up in quality from MLS to La Liga, where his adaptation as a focal point of the attack is still being tested.
