Judged on this season alone, Orihuela graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 93rd of 97 of the 97 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 2 clean sheets and 3.964 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 96th of 97 of the 97 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 35 Orihuela is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Atletico Tucuman finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 10.6, Orihuela carries the 96th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 97 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
