Output in context · Independiente finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
1.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) 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 80.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.05 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.4, Abaldo carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 2%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
