Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.5% 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 41.8, Gallardo carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 64 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
