Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Colpa.

Judged on this season alone, Colpa graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 66th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the Primera A, on 2 clean sheets and 4.286 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Colpa, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 64th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 31 Colpa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 10.1, Colpa carries the 64th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Union Magdalena finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
