Despite a collective effort, the season's top players—Jorge Gonzalez, Antonio Castelli, Eric Hussain, Jorge Alvez, and Willi Schneider—did not register goals or assists, emphasizing their roles as versatile team contributors rather than goal scorers. Their contributions in multiple ways helped stabilize the team and foster a cohesive unit on the pitch.

To elevate their performance, Castone should focus on increasing offensive output and goal-scoring capabilities. Developing attacking options and encouraging players to take more initiative in front of goal could turn draws into wins and push the team higher up the table. Additionally, refining attacking strategies and set-piece execution could further capitalize on their defensive strengths.
