Clean sheets

3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.4, Romero carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División (top 30%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportes Limache finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 27, Romero sits on 1.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Romero's projected Rating — 19.4 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.
