Clean sheets

2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 14) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.8% 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 33.6, Ortega carries the 16th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League 1 of 39. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
