Clean sheets

1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 43 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.98 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.3, Alvarado carries the 46th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 99. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.98 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.
