2 clean sheets in 7 appearances (29% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (14th of 15) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 39, 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 9.1, Arias carries the 43rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 43 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
