Clean sheets

5.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

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 16.8, Aliendro carries the 59th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 64. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
