Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sosa.
Judged on this season alone, Sosa graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 97th of 98 of the 98 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 2 clean sheets and 3.21 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Sosa, 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 16, 76th of 98 of the 98 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 32 Sosa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Newells Old Boys finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 16, Sosa carries the 76th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 98 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
