In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Costa.
Judged on this season alone, Costa graded 24 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 251 centre-backs in the Primera Nacional, on 5 clean sheets and 4.023 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Costa, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 107th of 251 of the 251 centre-backs in the Primera Nacional. At 27 Costa is in his prime years, and a market index of 26 reflects that trajectory.
4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 35.1, Costa carries the 107th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera Nacional of 251, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Independ. Rivadavia finished 14th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~26), then tapers with age. At 27, Costa sits on 26, at or near its peak. The blue line is Costa's projected Rating — 35.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
