7 clean sheets in 16 appearances (44% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (12th of 16) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 13.6, Avellaneda carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Primera División of 17, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Union La Calera finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
