Clean sheets

4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.4, Fariña carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the First League of 12 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
