Scout report
G. Cuéllar is a 33-year-old defensive midfielder at Deportivo Cali, rated 22.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 121st of 347 on scout potential in the Primera A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (52.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuéllar.
Judged on this season alone, Cuéllar graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 23 of the 23 defensive midfielders in the Primera A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.4 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, top 27% of the 23 defensive midfielders in the Primera A. At 33 Cuéllar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cuéllar missed 15 games through injury (muscle, inactive, muscular problems) out of roughly 40 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 22.2, Cuéllar carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera A (top 27%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
