Judged on this season alone, Céliz graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 89 of the 89 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 3.47 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 23). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 86th of 89 of the 89 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 34 Céliz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Deportivo Riestra finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 13.2, Céliz carries the 86th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 89 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
