Clean sheets

4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34% 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 14.3, Cobos carries the 69th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 74 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
