Output in context · Independiente finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 13 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
