Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.3% 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 14.8, Cobos carries the 70th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 74 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
