Clean sheets

2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.5, Castillo carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga MX (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
