Clean sheets

1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.83 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.3, Aranda carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 6%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
