Clean sheets

1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.31 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.5, Allende carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier Soccer League (top 9%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 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.
