On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 17th of 29 of the 29 defensive midfielders in the Primera A. At 29 Rivas is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 17.5, Rivas carries the 17th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera A of 29. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 29, Rivas sits on 1.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rivas's projected Rating — 17.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
