Output in context · Vasco DA Gama finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 69.2, Saldivia carries the 20th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 55 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
