Output in context · Independ. Rivadavia finished 14th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 15) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.6% 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 35.1, Costa carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 39%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Independ. Rivadavia finished 14th of 15) — 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 (4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
