Lionel Messi presents the best score among Latin Americans. Neymar or Vinícius Júnior does not appear for Brazil.
Cristhian Noboa’s 2021 was remarkable: with FC Sochi he played 33 games, scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists.
Although he was sidelined from the national team last year, the 36-year-old midfielder remains among Russia’s elite first-division soccer; in addition, he is stellar in a team that is third in the standings, behind Zenit and Dinamo Moscow.
The Guayaquil midfielder played matches in the Russian Premier League, a few of the South American qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup and made his team debut in the UEFA Europa Conference League in the preliminary phase.
Based on this premise, the SofaScore platform has selected him the most valued player in Ecuador in 2021, “taking into account all the leagues with SofaScore coverage in the world.”
With an average 7.42, the veteran tricolor is ranked as the sixth highest performing among Latin Americans tied with the Mexican Javier Chicharito Hernández (Los Angeles Galaxy) and Colombian Juan Guillermo Cuadrado (Juventus).
Argentine Lionel Messi has the best score with 8.13, while Brazil’s representative is Cesinha (7.67), from Daegu FC of the South Korean first division.

SofaScore rates a player using a “powerful algorithm that compiles all match statistics (possession, passes, assists, tackles, dribbling or shooting, among others) on a scale from 1 to 10 ″. “All the movements and actions of the players in the match are recorded in a final number, which is not broken down according to the values applied.” That can be reviewed on its official page.
The credit of Peru is Raziel García, member of the Colombian Deportes Tolima. The one from Uruguay is Giorgian De Arrascaeta, from Flamengo; the one from Paraguay is Alejandro Romero Gamarra Kakufrom the Saudi Al-Taawoun; Carlos Villanueva is the most valued in Chile and Rafael Romo is in Venezuela.
The 2021-2022 edition of the Russian Premier Liga championship, where Noboa plays, consists of 30 days and is scheduled to end on May 21. The statistics of this season indicate that the porteño has 17 games played and 5 goals scored. His last conquest, from a penalty, was celebrated in the 3-0 win over Spartak Moscow on December 13.
