Output in context · Universidad de Chile finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
6.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 6.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.9% 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 23.5, Castro carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera División of 49 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
