Clean sheets

3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.5, Pérez carries the 32nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 70, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Huracan finished 11th 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 (3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
