Clean sheets

3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48, Rivera carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 105 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
