Clean sheets

3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.5, Costa carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 35%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
