Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.4% 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

With a Rating of 10.5, Vargas carries the 60th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
