Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.35 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.2, Carabalí carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 96 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.35 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.
