Clean sheets

3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.2, García carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 64 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 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.
