  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.1, Braida carries the 54th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 71. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
