Clean sheets

1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.75 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 9, Perlaza carries the 89th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 99. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
