A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Escobar.
On the season, Escobar graded 19 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 2.234 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 19). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 31 Escobar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Godoy Cruz finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 17.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
