Output in context · Boca Juniors finished 1st of 15 · a title-challenging side
1.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.32 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 52, Palacios carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 9%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
