Output in context · Union La Calera finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.7% 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 21.7, Saldías carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera División (top 15%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Union La Calera finished 12th of 16) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
