Clean sheets

4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.4% 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 32.5, Purata carries the 42nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
