Output in context · Argentinos JRS finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.48 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.48 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.9, Riquelme carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera Nacional of 155 — though on just 5 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
