Clean sheets

3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Game time. Only 49.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51, Barinaga carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 34%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
