Output in context · Independiente Medellin finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27, Arizala carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
