Output in context · Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 9 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.64 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.3, Estupiñán carries the 75th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 99, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20) — 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 light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
