Clean sheets

1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.3, Saldana carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
