On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 53rd of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 30 Mazzantti is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.
Mazzantti is operating at his career peak — the 2024/25 level is the level.
Output in context · Newells Old Boys finished 14th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 83.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.5, Mazzantti carries the 53rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 91, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Newells Old Boys finished 14th 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 (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
