We hold a single season for Caldera, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, top 19% of the 87 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 24 Caldera is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.6 reflects that trajectory.
4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 22.8, Caldera carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A (top 19%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 24, Caldera sits on 4.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Caldera's projected Rating — 22.8 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.
