Output in context · Bucaramanga finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 2.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
