Scout report

An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (58% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gauto.
Judged on this season alone, Gauto graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 100 of the 100 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 1.5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 19). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, top 14% of the 100 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 22 Gauto is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Gauto is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Platense finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.5 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.6, Gauto carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 14%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Platense finished 12th of 15) — 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 (1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
