We hold a single season for Salas, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 23rd of 32 of the 32 full-backs in the A-League. At 30 Salas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
5.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 12.4, Salas carries the 23rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the A-League of 32, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Brisbane Roar finished 11th of 12) — 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 high defensive volume (5.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 30, Salas sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Salas's projected Rating — 12.4 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.
