Outlook

With a Rating of 44.7, Ortega carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera Nacional of 9 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~8), then tapers with age. At 25, Ortega sits on 7.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ortega's projected Rating — 44.7 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.
