Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sotelo.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 16).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 26% of the 227 central midfielders in the Primera Nacional. At 22 Sotelo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 31.6 reflects that trajectory.
5.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 15) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 45, Sotelo carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera Nacional of 227 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~33), then tapers with age. At 22, Sotelo sits on 31.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Sotelo's projected Rating — 45 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
