Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 13.5, Muñoz carries the 83rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 98. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
