We hold a single season for Arango, 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 12, 80th of 99 of the 99 central midfielders in the Primera A. At 32 Arango is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Chico finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.62 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 11.5, Arango carries the 80th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 99, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Chico finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
