Clean sheets

5.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Defensive volume. 5.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.4, Puga carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda División (top 12%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
