Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 114th of 135 of the 135 centre-backs in the Primera Nacional. At 34 Burgos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.5% 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 13, Burgos carries the 114th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera Nacional of 135 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
