On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.6, ranking 534th of 553 in the Liga Profesional Argentina. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (66% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuesta.
Judged on this season alone, Cuesta graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 110 of the 110 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 5 clean sheets and 4.599 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 34 → 33). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 105th of 110 of the 110 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 37 Cuesta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Platense finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 66% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 37, 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 11.6, Cuesta carries the 105th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 110, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Platense finished 12th 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 solid defensive volume (4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
