Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Saavedra.
Judged on this season alone, Saavedra graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 84 of the 84 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 3 clean sheets and 3.4 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 16).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 36% of the 84 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 23 Saavedra is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gimnasia M. finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.5% 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 45.6, Saavedra carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 84 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
