Clean sheets

2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 29 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 86.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Age curve. At 35, 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 21, Battaglia carries the 88th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 96. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

At 35, Battaglia sits on 2.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Battaglia's projected Rating — 21 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
