Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuesta.
Judged on this season alone, Cuesta graded 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 251 centre-backs in the Primera Nacional, on 7 clean sheets and 3.354 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 208th of 251 of the 251 centre-backs in the Primera Nacional. At 37 Cuesta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 15) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 13.2, Cuesta carries the 208th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera Nacional of 251, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Newells Old Boys finished 15th of 15) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 37, Cuesta sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cuesta's projected Rating — 13.2 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.
