Clean sheets

0.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.8, Arce carries the 50th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 81. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
