Clean sheets

3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.4, Delgado carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 3%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
