Clean sheets

3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.3, Sepúlveda carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera División (top 22%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 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.
