Clean sheets

1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 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

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.67 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.2, Gauto carries the 12th-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 (1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
