Outlook

With a Rating of 26.2, Gancedo carries the 64th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera Nacional of 138 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
