What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. Compact, reliable centre-back with a developing edge.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

Playing style
S. Bueno is a natural centre-back who keeps his game simple, tidy, and hard to play through. He holds his line well, steps in when needed, and leans on clean positioning and calm defensive decisions rather than chasing the game. There is a developing feel to his ceiling, but the base is already that of a disciplined Uruguay defender.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
For Uruguay in 2026, he offers squad depth at the heart of defence and the kind of sober, no-nonsense option every tournament side needs. In a squad setting, his value is in trust: he can be called on to steady the back line without changing the team's identity.
