On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 45th of 57 of the 57 full-backs in the Primera A. At 30 Arrieta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.7% 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 12.7, Arrieta carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera A of 57, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Pasto finished 17th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
