Output in context · Independiente Medellin finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 22.2, Palacios carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera A of 63. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.47 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.
