Output in context · Gimnasia M. finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.8% 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 35.1, Barboza carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 71 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
