Clean sheets

1.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.02 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.3, García carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 99. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
