Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

D. Mera is a 26-year-old central defender at Union Magdalena, rated 20.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 198th of 438 on scout potential in the Primera A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mera.

Judged on this season alone, Mera graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 75th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the Primera A, on 2 clean sheets and 2.742 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Mera, 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 20, top 37% of the 88 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 26 Mera is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 27.1% 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 20.1, Mera carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
