On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 45th of 64 of the 64 defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 29 Recalde is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Recalde is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Gimnasia M. finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) 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. 4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.4% 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 30.5, Recalde carries the 45th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Gimnasia M. finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
