Clean sheets

4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 92.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.7, Maciel carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 101, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Central Cordoba de Santiago finished 13th of 15) — 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 (4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 29, Maciel sits on 8.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Maciel's projected Rating — 35.7 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.
