Output in context · Newells Old Boys finished 19th of 26 · a lower-table side
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 26) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.42 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 6.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 42, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 3.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
