Clean sheets

5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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

  • Defensive volume. 5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.5, Allister carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División (top 7%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (D. La Serena finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
