Clean sheets

4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.4, Núñez carries the 24th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 33%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
