Clean sheets

3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 21 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 7.6, Castro carries the 93rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 99. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
