We hold a single season for Saldana, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, top 22% of the 87 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 22 Saldana is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.
1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 22.3, Saldana carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 87 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 22, Saldana sits on 4.2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Saldana's projected Rating — 22.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
