Clean sheets

4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.2, Ayala carries the 19th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 84 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
