Output in context · Deportivo Pereira finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 8.5, Ríos carries the 26th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera A of 28, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Deportivo Pereira finished 18th 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 solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
