Output in context · Atletico Nacional finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.9% 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 16.2, Castro carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
