Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 35). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 73rd of 98 of the 98 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 33 Paz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 22 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 17.6, Paz carries the 73rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 98, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Huracan finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
