Clean sheets

3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.3, Mattar carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 96 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
