Clean sheets

1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.9 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.3, Castilla carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A (top 23%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Internacional de Bogota finished 20th 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 light defensive volume (1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
