4.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.6, Ayala carries the 19th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 84 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
