Clean sheets

2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.1, Álvarez carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 11%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
