E. Tercero is a 30-year-old central defender at Atlante FC, rated 26.1 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (57.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tercero.

On the season, Tercero graded 23 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 5.21 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26. At 30 Tercero is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

5.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
