On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 74th of 97 of the 97 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 30 Bustos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
