Clean sheets

5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 14, Cobos carries the 80th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 84 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
