Output in context · Newells Old Boys finished 25th of 28 · a lower-table side
10.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (25th of 28) 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
- Defensive volume. 10.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 1.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 40.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (10.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
